Talar Made

After a few months of using a Lidl ice pack stuffed into an Endura kneewarmer, I decided to upgrade to a Talar Made 'Compression Cold Therapy - Knee' ice pack about a week ago.

After waiting Amazon's customary 'couple of days' for delivery, I was excited (no, I'm not joking) when my new ice pack arrived and I got the opportunity to try it out. Almost immediately upon returning from one of my usual short cycles, I whipped the new Talar Made ice pack out of the freezer (where I left it, having removed the pump section first as instructed), attached it to my troubled knee, fitted the pump on and pumped it up to compress and freeze my stinky joint into submission.

On first impressions (I've only used it about three or four times) it's great. As you might expect, it's a world of difference from shoving a wee basic pack into a kneewarmer. I didn't think the compression would help as much as it does. Upon further thought, it's kind of obvious that cooling and compressing potential inflammation would be a good combination. It's not, however, something my little mind thought of.

In summary, I'd recommend it to anyone who has similar problems (mine seem to relate mainly to around the patellar tendon). It will be £30 GBP extremely well spent if it continues being as effective as it has so far.

Should there be any revelations to add from further usage (either positive or negative) I'll likely stick it on at the end of this.
