Hyperice X Knee - Portable Therapy Device

This is a rechargeable heat and ice therapy device that wraps around the knee with 3 adjustable Velcro straps. It works by a rechargeable battery as well as being plugged in. It is easier to use the Bluetooth Controls through the app, than it does manually. The battery is at the top of the device. It does get warm during use, but imperceptible on the knee. There are 5 fans that work on cooling a pad on the backside of the unit. It definitely gets ice cold to me. The heat is also quite warm to hot. On the hot setting, it does get quite hot to the point of being uncomfortable but it works extremely well. The beauty is that I can adjust the temperature to my level of comfort. You have the option for heat, cold or combination treatment. I personally like the cold function over heat. During the cold therapy the sound is a very low, like a desktop fan on the lowest setting. The straps adjust easily and there are additional straps for larger sized individuals. I find the item is high effective. It can work on other body parts but won’t stay on the area like it was designed for the knee but it should work on the ankle or foot, just fine. Price is high but there is nothing made quite like this. I find this to be very versatile. Its weight is good enough for travel. It is more versatile than my Ice machine. Definitely recommend it. Update: Nov 2023 I have taken it on a trip to Iceland. It is so nice to have something portable that can do the modalities it does. Now I don’t have to worry about being away from things I used to ease my symptoms, no matter where I travel. Not only can I use this for my knee, but I have used it on my lower back, ankle, and foot, too. I love the versatility, plus the duration of treatment is spot on!
