Heat Therapy

Place gel pack in microwave.
Heat on high for 10-15 seconds (if gel pack expands in microwave or if gel in gel pack begins to boil, turn off immediately – gel pack may burst if over heated).
Check temperature against inside of forearm to make sure gel pack is comfortable to the touch.
If gel pack is too hot, wait for it to cool to the point that it is comfortable to the touch before using.
To further heat, warm in microwave in 5-10 second increments until desired temperature is reached.
Once desired temperature is reached, position on and attach to inside of compression sleeve using velcro tabs.
Position compression sleeve so that gel pack is directly positioned above area in need to treatment – may need to reposition gel pack within compression sleeve for perfect placement.
Wrap sleeve around affected area so that it fits snugly and does not move.
Generally use 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
If gel pack feels uncomfortably hot, remove immediately – it may result in burns
In case of nerve damage, do not use gel pack.
