Long Ice Pack, Perfect for neck or lower back
I get frequent muscle spasms, usually in my neck. I have much better luck with ice for long-term relief than a heating pad. So, I have tried many different types of ice packs, from cheap drug store varieties, to the expensive ones my physical therapist's office sells. These are pretty in-line with the nicer ones from my PT's office, at a much better price.<br /><br />They are a little thinner, which didn't impact their use at all. They are also a little stiffer than some, but they soften up within a few minutes, to conform to the neck. They stay cold more than long enough to do the cold therapy (recommended time is 20 mins, but I typically forget and go over a bit).<br /><br />I have not tried these hot, but I have heard from others that ice packs typically don't last as long if you rotate it back and forth from hot and cold, they are better for one or the other. If I want heat, I typically use a heating pad.  My only issue with this 6X20 is that to fit it in my freezer I have to fold it, but it doesn't seem to be making it break any faster.<br /><br />The colors are fun too. I went with blue, but I love that you could potentially color code for specific purposes if you wanted.<br /><br />I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. However, all opinions are my own.
