How to Use HurtSkurt® the Right Way: Your Ultimate Guide to Hot and Cold Therapy

Whether you’re nursing a sore knee, soothing shoulder pain, or cooling down after a workout — recovery shouldn’t be complicated. That’s where HurtSkurt® comes in. Our wearable hot/cold sleeves are designed to move with you, not against you — giving you flexible, hands-free relief wherever life takes you.

Let’s break down exactly how to use your HurtSkurt® to get the most out of every session.

⸻

Cold Therapy (Ice Mode):

Perfect for swelling, inflammation, or acute injuries (think sprains, bruises, sore joints).

1. Place your HurtSkurt® gel insert in the freezer for at least 2 hours.

2. Slip it back into the sleeve.

3. Apply directly to the affected area for 15–20 minutes at a time.

Pro tip: Always allow the sleeve to rest at room temperature for a few minutes before reapplying if you’re doing multiple sessions.

1. Remove the gel insert and place it in the microwave for 20–30 seconds (depending on your model size).

2. Reinsert into your sleeve and test the temperature — it should be warm, not hot.

3. Apply for 15–20 minutes to boost circulation and loosen tension.

Pro tip: Gentle heat helps muscles relax and increases blood flow — ideal before workouts or stretching.

Because HurtSkurt® comes in multiple sizes, it’s designed to fit almost anywhere:

• Small → wrists, hands, forearms, ankles

• Medium → elbows, calves, biceps

• Large → knees, thighs, shoulders

• SkullSkurt® → headaches, migraines, sinus pressure, post-workout recovery

Simply slide it on like a sleeve — no straps, no Velcro, no hassle.

Your body responds best to consistent recovery sessions. Here’s a simple guide:

• For new injuries: Ice 2–3 times daily for the first 48 hours.

• For chronic soreness: Alternate heat and cold once or twice daily.

• For daily maintenance: Use heat before activity, cold after.

Consistency is key — think of it as a daily recharge for your muscles.

⸻

To keep your HurtSkurt® performing like new:

• Hand wash the fabric sleeve with mild soap and air dry.

• Never overheat the gel pack (follow timing exactly).

• Store in a cool, dry place or freezer for quick access.

• Always inspect the gel pack for damage before reuse.

Your HurtSkurt® is reusable, durable, and built to go wherever you do — from the gym bag to the couch to the training room.

True recovery isn’t just about reacting to pain — it’s about preventing it.
