Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Recovery Sleeve come in?
The Recovery Sleeve is made from premium stretchable material that conforms to most body types. It comfortably fits elbows, knees, calves, and arms with circumferences between 12" - 20". The flexible design ensures a snug, secure fit without being too tight.
Do you have different sleeves for different body parts?
Yes! We designed specific Recovery Sleeves for each area of your body to ensure the perfect fit and optimal coverage:
- Knee Recovery Sleeve — Full 360° coverage for your knee joint
- Elbow Recovery Sleeve — Targeted relief for elbow pain and tennis/golfer's elbow
- Ankle Recovery Sleeve — Supports and soothes sore, swollen ankles
- Wrist Recovery Sleeve — Compact relief for wrist strain and carpal tunnel discomfort
Each sleeve is anatomically designed to fit that specific joint or muscle group for maximum therapy and comfort.
Will it stay in place while I move around?
Yes! Unlike traditional ice packs or loose wraps, the Recovery Sleeve's slip-on compression design keeps it securely in place. Walk around, do light chores, or relax on the couch — it stays put.
How do I use it for cold therapy?
Simply place the Recovery Sleeve in your freezer for 1-2 hours before use. The medical-grade gel stays flexible even when frozen, so it wraps comfortably around your joint without feeling like a brick.
How do I use it for heat therapy?
Microwave the sleeve for 15-20 seconds (times may vary by microwave). Always test the temperature before applying to your skin. The gel retains heat for soothing, penetrating warmth that eases stiffness and tension.
How long does the cold/heat last?
Cold therapy typically lasts 20-30 minutes per session. Heat therapy lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. Both timeframes are ideal for a full, effective treatment session.
Can I use it for both hot AND cold therapy on the same day?
Yes! Many customers alternate between cold therapy (to reduce swelling and inflammation) and heat therapy (to relax muscles and ease stiffness). Just wait until the sleeve returns to room temperature before switching therapies.
