Ways you can use the pad
Our pain relieving pad can be used across various areas of the body where discomfort arises, including the hand, wrist, elbow, ankle, foot, knee, hip, or back. The pad can be used for a range of conditions including Arthritis, Tennis and Golfer's Elbow, Knee and Back pain, Plantar Fasciitis, Sciatica, and more. Here are some practical ways to effectively use the pad, helping you to return to the activities you enjoy most, free from pain.
Arthritis of the hands
For arthritis and most tendon pain, apply the pad directly to the area of most discomfort. For trickier contours, it's perfectly fine to hold the pad in place and for flatter areas, you can utilize the strap.
Hand and wrist pain, cramping and carpal tunnel
If you experience pain in your thumb, index finger, middle finger, or the palm of your hand, it is likely due to carpal tunnel syndrome. To alleviate this pain, gently strap the pad over the palm side of your wrist.
If you feel pain at the back of your thumb or index finger, the discomfort may be related to the radial nerve. To relief this, locate the outside of your elbow and find the fleshy bit of muscle 3-4 cm down towards your thumb.
Top of leg pain or when sitting
If you experience pain in the lower part of your bottom when sitting, especially on hard surfaces, it might be proximal hamstring tendinopathy or ischial bursitis. To find the painful area, press along the crease of your bottom until you feel the bony part you sit on. If this area or the muscle directly below it is painful, place the pad there or you can sit on the pad to hold it in place.
Lower back pain
Place the two pads into the pouch and attach to the Velcro on the inside of the back brace. Position the pouch in the centre or off to one side, depending on where you feel the most pain. Tighten the back brace firmly but not too tight around your body.
After 20 minutes, remove the pads. If you need continued support for your back pain, especially during physical activity, you can put the back brace back on. You can tighten the back brace more firmly without the pads.
Sciatica
Try using the pads in the back brace as described in the lower back pain, especially if you have both back pain and sciatica. If this doesn’t relieve your pain, locate the bony part in the crease of your bottom (this is the bony bit you sit on). Your sciatic nerve is 4-5 cm on the outside of this bony area. Press the pad into the muscles over the sciatic nerve. You can either sit on the pad or strap it into position, bringing the pad slightly down the leg.
Foot or ankle pain
For arthritis and tendon pain, secure the pad gently over the area causing the most discomfort. For ankle pain, connect the two straps to form a figure-eight pattern around your ankle for added support. For Achilles tendon pain (Achilles Tendinopathy), position the pad against the inside or outside of the Achilles tendon, focusing on the area that feels more tender when pressed. For heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis), place the pad directly on the painful area of the heel. You can either rest your foot on it or use the strap in a figure-eight pattern to secure it.
Knee pain or arthritis
of the knee
Pain around the kneecap (patella) can be caused by arthritis of the joint or tendon issues at the top or bottom of the kneecap. To find the source of the pain, press into the sides of the kneecap, the very bottom of it, and across the top. Identify the area that hurts the most and strap the pad over it. You may need to join the two straps together to secure the pad around your knee. If necessary, you can use the pad in multiple places. If both sides of the knee hurt, you can safely use the pad on each side, one after the other.
Hip joint
For front-of-the-hip pain, such as arthritis or joint wear and tear, sit down and lean backwards. Feel halfway along the crease of your groin; this is over the hip joint and close to the nerve and blood supply going to your leg. Place the pad just below the crease line. For pain outside your hip, locate the bony area on the side of your upper leg. Press around this area, including just in front and behind it, until you find the most painful spot, then place the pad on the most painful area.
Neck pain
Fit the two straps together. If the pain is in the middle or lower neck, strap the pad comfortably around your neck. If the pain is at the top of your neck or the base of your skull, strap the pad into position, extending the straps around your forehead.
Caution: The pad uses vibration. If you have sensitive hearing or suffer from ear pain and/or ear conditions, please do not use the pad on your neck.
