I have an issue with the joint that attaches my big toe to my foot and trying to apply ice and heat around that area has been, pardon the expression, a pain!
No longer! This wrap is perfect for that particularly difficult area to cover! (It worked so well for me I gave one to my nephew who suffers from gout, which reinforced my position as his favorite Aunt!)
The other thing to keep in mind, this pack gets COLD/HOT!!! Be sure to put something between it and you!
Excellent product, excellently made!
I was recently diagnosed with a plantar plate rupture.....I REALLY needed a cold wrap that could soothe the pain in my foot, both top and bottom. This wrap by Bodyprox is exactly what I needed! I put it in the freezer to chill and it easily makes a soft wrap around my foot and closes with its Velcro. It's so quick and easy. It gives wonderful relief and I highly recommend it!
Bodyprox had wonderful customer service when this didn't fit my needs so I am giving it five stars although the product was not a match for what I needed it for. If you are using it just for bottom of the foot and not to wrap around both ankles it should work for you. It will work for one side of a swollen ankle. It's perfect for a wrist. It does not work well with the entire heel (all sides) or both sides of your ankles. You do need some kind of material between you and the ice pack. It stays cold enough to be effective for about 12 to 15 minutes.
This would be perfect for a child's ankles or wrists.
Been having problems with a sore foot that I need to ice. Want to be mobile instead of having to sit still with bag of frozen peas. Thought I'd try this and pushed it. Had it on while walking around the house climbing some steps and just sitting and standing still. Moved a little (I expected that) but not much. Not too tight. Stayed cold for a long time and pack doesn't take much room in the freezer which also means it chills quickly. Wish I had gotten sooner.
For a very reasonable price, the product has a high quality velcro wrap and sturdy cold/hot pad...I play the piano and have arthritis in my wrist and after playing i use this to manage the "after pain"
What is also very helpful is that other small ice packs can be interchanged when the main cool/hot pack is cooled down because of the high quality
and versatile wrap.
The wrap is also large enough and small enough to be effective on many other body parts, like knees, elbows, ankles, feet or whatever....
The package comes with a nice personalized message from the Bodyprox family and a scratch ticket gift certificate toward other products
I will be checking out their other products
Nice to find quality pain management products on Amazon

When I first opened the box I was a bit disappointed: looked a bit flimsy. However, I've been using it for a couple days on one of my feet and have found the product to be not only durable but more practical than I expected.
First, the included gel pack is made such that I'm not worried about accidentally stepping on it. The pack is very sturdy.
Second, the wrap is designed such that, besides my foot, I could easily make use of this item for hands, wrists, elbow, etc.
Well worth $10.
Already love them! I bought 2. So far I've just used the heat part and I open it up and put it on my lower back. I plan on using both with the ice part on my feet after my long 12 hour shifts to help with swelling. Great customer service already too and I just purchased! Can't wait to share with my husband to cool his wrists after crossfit! So happy thus far.
I recently fractured my elbow (and also hurt my wrist/forearm) and need to keep it iced. This little wrap works great! I like that the gel pack can be removed from the wrap; sometimes I keep it wrapped around my elbow or wrist, and sometimes I set the gel pack down on my desk to use as a wrist rest when working on the computer. The only recommended improvement would be to print directions for heating it on the wrap or the gel pack...I misplaced the original info it came with, so I have no idea how long to heat it for in the microwave if I need to use it for hot therapy. But since I'm only using it for cold therapy at the moment, it gets a full 5 stars for that. Great product at a fair price!
This gel pack is so versatile. It can be used and secured around your foot and ankle and leaves you able to walk and move around, unlike others that don't stay in place. I have used it both hot and cold for a sore Achilles' tendon. It works great. My reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that, in exchange for its ease of use, convenience, and it's slim design, you sacrifice some of the duration of the hot and cold therapy. It doesn't stay cold or warm as long as I would like. It is worth it for the great Velcro that securely fastens it but I would love to see an improvement in the gel so it retains its temperature longer. I have also used it for my wrist and it is great there, too.
I like this product. I put the gel pack in the freezer over night and then put on a thin crew sock so as not to cause a cold shock to my ankle, when I wrapped my ankle up in it. It takes a few minutes to numb my ankle, and then I get relief. I haven't heated it in a microwave as yet, so I can't comment on that feature, but it should work just as well. My ankle stays swollen, so this cold pack freezes the area and I feel relief from the pain. The wrap itself as well as the gel pack has velcro, so it stays in place when fastened.
