Key features that make them ideal for professional application include:

Is the compress freezer-ready for cold therapy?

To prepare for penetrating cold therapy, simply place the pack in the freezer. A key advantage of the FlexiPac is its specialized gel material:
- Always Pliable: The flexible gel remains soft and conforming, even when frozen solid.

Does the flexible gel allow effective hot and cold therapy?
Yes, the Chattanooga FlexiPac is designed for dual therapy, offering versatile hot and cold applications thanks to its specialized gel interior. This feature provides significant therapeutic benefits:
- Hot Therapy: The compress is conveniently microwavable and delivers soothing heat, making it excellent for muscle relaxation and chronic pain management.
- Cold Therapy: It is freezable and provides penetrating cold relief, which is ideal for reducing swelling and treating acute injuries.
A key advantage is that the gel maintains its high pliability and conformity regardless of whether it is heated or frozen. This ensures the compress molds perfectly to the contours of the body for optimal contact and effectiveness.
Does the flexible gel conform easily to the body?

This continuous flexibility ensures:
