ACUTE INJURY TREATMENT
Treatment for an acute injury is followed by the
acronym RICE
R = Rest. Stay off the injured area
I = Ice. Apply ice for no longer than 20 mins at a time, 4-8 times per day or as needed. Allow your skin to return to normal temperature before re-applying ice and stop icing once skin feels numb.
C = Compression. Compress the injured area with the BODY ICE support.
E = Elevation. Keep the injury in a raised position

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
COLD THERAPY
Fill the BODY ICE bag 2/3 full with ice cubes or crushed ice. Secure the lid tightly. Place the lid through the centre hole of the neoprene support. Apply ice on injured area and secure neoprene support to a comfortable level of compression using the velcro straps. Apply ice for 20 mins at a time, 4-8 times per day or as needed. Allow your skin to return to normal temperature before re-applying ice. Seek medical attention from a physician if symptoms don’t improve.
HEAT THERAPY
Use BODY ICE for soothing heat therapy to help relax tight or spasmed muscles and stimulate blood flow. Simply fill the bag 2/3 full with hot tap water and secure the lid tightly. Heat should not be applied to acute injuries showing signs of swelling and inflammation.
CARE AND STORAGE
Drain the water from the ice bag and air dry before securing the lid. Hand wash the neoprene support in warm soapy water and air dry.
