Please note our offices and warehouses will be closed from 24th December until 2nd January 2025.

In-stock orders placed before 4:30pm on Friday 20th December should arrive before Christmas on a Next Working Day Delivery service. We are unable to guarantee this, however, as we rely on external couriers. Orders placed after this time will be processed and despatched as normal, but we cannot guarantee a pre-Christmas delivery. Any orders placed on Tuesday 24th December, or during the festive period, will be delivered in the first working days of the new year.

We recommend you place your order early, and look forward to serving you again in 2025.

Price Guide

What is PRICE?

The PRICE treatment comprises a method for treatment of soft tissue injuries, used both immediately following the incident of injury and during the ongoing injury management process. Correct application of PRICE has been recognised to prevent further injury or complications, relieve pain, limit swelling and accelerate the healing process by days or even months.

 

Applying PRICE treatment

  • Rest is an important step immediately following the injury to reduce blood flow to the injury site and help prevent any further damage from developing.
  • Ice application to the injury is a vital step to reducing swelling and pain. A Cold Pack should be applied as soon as possible after the injury occurs. The length of time and how often ice should be applied is recommended as 20 minutes for every 2 hours for the first 48 – 72 hours. However, this can vary depending on the individual being treated where 20 minutes can prove excessive to some and inadequate for others.
  • Compression brings with it two benefits, the first being the reduction in localised bleeding and swelling, and the second support of the injury and surrounding area. This can be achieved by the use of a suitable Bandage that fully covers the injury and overlaps some of the surrounding areas. IcePacks4Less stock a wide range of Dressings and Bandages to suit this application.
  • Elevation simply involves raising the injured area above the level of the heart to further reduce bleeding and swelling.
  • Refer to a doctor or professional physical therapist if the injury is considered serious, or if in any doubt over the severity of the injury.
