Heat/Cold Pack - Traps

The Pelican Heat/Cold Pack - Traps is filled with lupin seeds which effectively retain both heat or cold. They are lightweight with a low odour after heating, compared to wheat. This Pack is designed to go over the neck, the shoulders, and the back with the lupin seeds covering the trapezius muscle.

Key Features

• The trapezius muscle is divided into three areas:
  • Upper trapezius
  • Middle trapezius
  • Lower trapezius
• Heat therapy may help relieve aches and stiffness, while cold therapy may help ease swelling and pain.
• Always wear clothing between your bare skin and the Heat/Cold Pack to prevent burns or frostbite.

Additional Information

The muscular fibres of the triangular-shaped traps travel to insert on the spine of the scapula and the acromion of the scapula. They also attach to the outer one-third of the clavicle or collarbone. Trapezius muscles are important for posture as well as shoulder and arm movement. Some people may use the Pack for cold therapy to reduce swelling, then after a day or two, use it for heat therapy to relax their muscles.
