How do you use this product?When you need to apply heat what is the process before you wrap it around your knee?Tx

I have the extra large one & I boil it in my canner. Perfect size. I just let it on the stove. I was told by the company to bring it to a boil then keep it at 160 temp for 10-15 minutes before applying. Also told whenever I'm done using it & ready to pack it away for awhile to put it in a plastic bag & freeze it, never let it dry out. This works miracles for my Fybromyalgia, bursitis in hip & lower back pain. It's the same thing I use in PT.

you heat in boiling water. wrap product in towel and apply and cover with a blanket to keep warmth in. You might need more than 1 towel if they are thin. Product give improves circulation I was told by my physical therapist. So you should do on a regular basis.

Hello Same A., hmmm this is pretty large to be trying to "wrap" around a knee..it is so substantially made, and thus a bit stiff to consider a "wrap"...I drop it into a big soup pot full of boiling water for a few minutes until all the husks absorb the hot water and fill out the channels in the pad, hold it over the sink to drain off the most water, then encase it in a big towel. The heat keeps releasing and releasing for a long time. Its awesome. I've used it in massage therapy for clients for many years...very effective for prolonged moist heat. good luck.

I soak the knee brace in woolite and water for about 20 minutes, then rinse. Get out as much water as you can than I hang it to dry in the shower.

Even a web search revealed nothing about what you're supposed to do with this tape. I put it on the heat pads and will hope for the best. I'd suggest putting it down on the heating pads where you think you'll want the most heat.

You place the pad on your hip ot thigh ( have used it both ways), the long strap wraps around your hips and the small one around your thigh. Put a small towel in between the wrap and your skin, otherwise you can get frost bite.

I have seen some youtubers do this, but I would couple with a heat protectant as well. I know I do :)

Much easier apply the wax while sitting on the floor lined with old papers .legs open place the warmer near to you. Put on extra large disposable panty so you can slide expose only the targeted area to be applied. Apply the pre wax oil n pat dry with tissue followed by body powder to reduce the heat sensation :-D

Would like to clear this up. This is not a product that causes 'heating or tingling or burning' of any kind. When you apply it, it will feel like the product is 'sitting' on your skin. It is done for a reason, so you don't have to use any cling wrap or any other props to make it work. Some people feel it more and some less. It's totally normal. When you put your clothes on, the areas of application will feel warmer and probably a little more sweat prone. This is just how it works. That's what we call a 'sauna' effect.

Basically, you want to start with a full strap width above the knee, bring the long end back to your starting point, thereby anchoring the strap. Then wrap tightly from top to bottom, overlaping the strap you just wrapped by 1/2 the width of the wrap. When you have wrapped all the way below the knee with a full strap width, make 1 or 2 cross wraps where you wrap from the bottom of the knee diagonally up and around, completing with a lateral wrap around the top of the knee, then take the left over end under the last wrap and pull tight. You will want to remove the strap immedeatly after your lift.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, as the picture of the knee brace readily shows how to wear this (wider part above the knee, lower part below). My best guess at this is that you're asking about the gel portion of the brace? If so, that should encircle the knee cap (so that the top/center of the knee cap is NOT covered)

Yes. You can freeze it or heat it in the microwave, depending on your need. I had a total knee replacement, and this is the best cold pack I've found. I actually bought 2 so that I could freeze one while using the other. You can also move around while using this, though you'll probably have to readjust it once you plant yourself again!

The best way is to drink 1 water before you put it on and 2 bottles of water after you put it on and make sure you put your lotions on before you wrap and it works GREAT !!!!!!!

When first applied it feels cool. After a few minutes there is a warming sensation. I would not recommend applying heat after application. This product has helped me relieve muscle aches and pains as well as soreness. Stress knots, rotator cuff soreness and Plantar fasciitis.

Joyce, This is about the best knee wrap we have ever used. It entirely wraps around the knee and hugs well to the leg. The gel is comfortable and feels great. Wehave only used it for cold applications. Enjoy!

This is a cream that is quickly absorbed by skin. Works wonders for any injury without broken skin. It will help with pain associated with knee injury and inflammation reduction.

Like others said. Rub it in with bare hands. No extra heat source is needed. It will make your hands feel good too like they just had a lotion bath. I usually let the boots rest for a while and then apply a 2nd coat. Clean the excess off with a clean shoe brush and/or buffing cloth. The boots might retain a waxy/oily feel to them which will go away over time.

It is an ointment which is kind of greasy like Vaseline type product. I did not bandage and not sure you are supposed to. Actually I did not find it to be helpful at all but perhaps that was just me.
