About Therapacks Hot & Cold Therapy Pack Shoulder & Neck
Therapacks are Australian-made heat and cold packs, which have been developed by healthcare professionals, to be as allergy-friendly as they can. Therapacks are easy to use, comfortable to wear and are available in a range of designs to suit most parts of the body while minimising any reduction in mobility. They work by subtly moulding to the contours of the body. Where helpful, Therapacks are fitted with secure Velcro straps. Therapacks contain natural Australian lupin seeds ‐ chosen for their remarkable heat-retaining qualities.
100% Cotton Fabric Covering Lupin Seeds *Therapacks freeze the Lupin seed to below -10°C for 48 hours minimum to ensure any weevils or lave are killed. The seed is 'vacuum' cleaned to remove loose husks/chaff/dust/burrs. The coverings are apparel 100% cotton fabric from Charles Parsons. No chemicals are used in the production or cleaning of our packs.
For Cold Treatment: Seal the pack in a plastic bag and place in the freezer for the time recommended on the pack. For Hot Treatment- Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°. Insert the pack into an oven-safe bag. Lower the oven temperature to 50deg;C. Place the bag in the oven for the time recommended on the pack.

WARNING: Never use recycled paper products in microwave ovens unless they are specifically approved for microwave use. Some recycled products including paper towels and even waxed paper may contain minute metal flecks. When a microwave oven is operating, the interaction between microwaves and the metal can cause sparks and even flames.
