We originally decided to get a Hilotherapy device for treatment of my knee arthritis at home. Since then, however, it has really become an indispensable “family member”. We still, of course, use the device for my knee osteoarthritis, where it helps me a great deal to stay pain-free and keep playing active sports, getting me back on my feet whenever I have overstressed my joints. We have found further applications for headaches, sprains and bruises, or even after insect bites or burns. Cooling injuries with ice or frozen gel – something that I also used to do – doesn’t even come close to the effectiveness of Hilotherapy.

Each and every one of us in our family has benefited from our Hilotherapy device already. Apart from using it for small day-to-day aches and pains, we have applied it more specifically in the case of the following injuries/procedures: wisdom tooth extractions, syndesmosis ankle ligament surgery, dislocated thumb, ankle ligament rupture, joint capsule separation in thumb. It really can’t even remotely be compared to the traditional methods of cold application with ice or gel packs!

My daughter fell out of a bunk bed when she was 4 years old. As surgery was only possible the following morning, I made sure to keep her jaw cool for the entire night. She had no swelling and didn’t require any pain killers, all thanks to Hilotherapy. As a family with three daughters, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to put Hilotherapy to good use. We can only hope to never be without our Hilotherapy device again!
