I use the ice cup sometimes on my feet after a day of standing/walking. If they're numb, I can fall asleep before my dogs start barking & keep me awake! 😉🦶

Thanks Dr. Monte. A frozen bag of vegetables works also.😊

After a massage, or when I'm feeling back pain begin, I grab my long grain rice bag from the freezer. A few intervals are a great help! 👍
