Topical pain relief cold therapy gel
Description
Ice Storm Freeze Gel 473ml is a topical cold therapy gel from the ICE STORM range by Eureka Physiocare, formulated with menthol as the active cooling ingredient and containing arnica. It is designed to provide fast, targeted relief from muscle tension, joint pain, sprains, strains, bruises and arthritis-related discomfort by creating an intense cooling sensation that overrides pain signals. The 16oz (473ml) format is supplied in a pump-top bottle, making it particularly convenient for repeated use in clinics, physiotherapy and sports settings.
