Description

If you've been told to ice something, this is the part nobody explains: what you put the ice in.

This is the old-fashioned kind. A fabric bag with a wide screw cap that you fill with ice cubes and a splash of water. Because the ice can still move, the bag settles into the shape of a knee or a hip rather than sitting flat on top of it.

At 9 inches across, it's big enough to cover a knee, a hip or a shoulder.

The cap is wide enough to load without a funnel, and comes black or white, sent at random. Empty it, let it dry, ready for next time.

Put a cloth between the bag and your skin, and follow whatever your physio or surgeon told you.

Full specifications

  • Material: Fabric outer with a screw cap
  • Size: 9 inches across
  • Weight: 115g empty
  • Fill: Ice cubes and a splash of cold water
  • Care: Empty after use, leave open to dry

Who is This For?

This may suit you if:

  • You have been told to ice something and want a better way to do it than a bag of peas
  • You want something that sits against a joint rather than across it
  • You would rather refill one bag than keep buying single-use packs
  • You want one for the freezer that is ready whenever it is needed

What it is good for:

  • Icing a knee or a hip after surgery, when you have been told to
  • A shoulder, an ankle or the lower back
  • Keeping in the freezer so it is ready before you need it
  • Packing flat into a hospital bag before a planned admission

Important Safety Information

This is not a medical device, and nothing on this page is professional health advice or a substitute for a consultation. If you have been given instructions about icing, including how long and how often, follow those. If you have not been given any, ask your physiotherapist, doctor or surgeon before you start.

Never put the bag directly against bare skin. Always use a cloth or a tea towel as a barrier, and check the skin underneath regularly.

Do not use it on any area where sensation is reduced, including after surgery, or where you have diabetes, circulation problems or nerve changes. The usual warning sign of a cold injury is discomfort, and if you cannot feel the area properly you will not get that warning.

Do not fall asleep with it in place, and do not leave it on a child or on anyone who cannot remove it themselves. Stop immediately if the skin turns white, waxy or numb.

The Reusable Ice Bag - Moulds to the Shape You Need

Why we like this

There is a gap in most people's recovery setup. You get told to ice it, and then you're left to work out what to ice it with. Most of us end up with a bag of frozen vegetables and a tea towel.

We chose this one because the ice stays loose inside. That's the whole difference. A bag that can change shape sits against a knee or a hip properly, where something rigid only touches in a couple of places.

The physio behind the store

I built this store because I was already recommending this equipment in sessions every day. As a mobile physio working in people's homes, I know what actually fits a real living room, a real bedroom, a real kitchen and what older adults will actually use.

Everything here has been in my kit bag, used with real clients, and chosen because it works in the home environment, not just in a clinic.

Physio pro tip

Icing is mostly about the barrier and the clock:

  • Always put a layer between it and your skin — a tea towel is enough. Straight onto bare skin is how people end up with an ice burn
  • Watch the clock, not the feeling — go by the time you were given, because it stops feeling cold long before it stops having an effect on the skin
  • Skip it anywhere sensation is reduced — after surgery, or with diabetes or nerve changes, you may not feel the warning

If you have been given instructions about icing, follow those. This is general information, not advice about your situation.

What makes us different

Everything on this store is something we actually use. It's in our kit bag — we bring it into real sessions with real clients, week after week. If it's here, it's because we've tried it, trusted it, and watched it make a genuine difference.

We're not trying to sell you everything. The range is curated for older adults building strength and independence at home, and simplicity is the whole point. You don't need a home gym. You don't need to be an expert.

As a mobile physio practice, we can only reach so many people in person. This store is how we share what works with everyone else.

Why it matters

Movement keeps you going

57%
of Australians aged 65+ didn't meet physical activity guidelines
AIHW analysis of ABS NHS, 2022
65+
As we get older, staying active keeps you independent and able to do everyday activities
NSW Health, Physical activity guidelines for older adults
30min
of moderate to vigorous activity on most days is what Australian guidelines recommend for 65+
Australian movement guidelines for older adults, 2026

The evidence is clear: it is never too late to start. A few minutes of movement most days adds up to something real over time. You don't need a gym, a trainer, or a complicated programme. You need simple equipment that works at home and a reason to pick it up.

The evidence

Three things regular movement may help maintain

  • Muscle Strength
    We naturally lose muscle mass as we age. Resistance exercise is one of the most effective tools for slowing that process — at any age.
  • Balance & Stability
    Balance responds well to regular practice. Simple exercises done consistently can make a meaningful difference to how steady you feel day to day.
  • Independence at Home
    People over 65 benefit more from adequate fitness than any other age group — to maintain independence, recover from illness, and reduce disease risk.
