But did you know that  </span><a href="https://www.thegoodbody.com/physical-therapy-statistics-and-facts/" data-mce-href="https://www.thegoodbody.com/physical-therapy-statistics-and-facts/"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">over 40% of patients</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> prefer physical therapy to drug-based alternatives?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Patients seek physical therapy for a wide range of issues, including sports injuries, fibromyalgia, stress-induced body pain, whiplash, nerve pain, OA , and chronic back pain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Physical therapists and sports medicine professionals rely on many pain relief techniques, including cold-based therapies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Cold therapy slows down blood flow, decreasing swelling in the process. It also protects body tissue from inflammation while reducing bruising.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The Breg Polar Care Glacier goes the extra mile in providing superior cold therapy for surgery recovery, sports medicine, post-trauma injuries, and chronic pain conditions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Learn more in this complete buyer's guide to the Breg Polar Care Glacier system.</span></p> <h2><b>What Is the Breg Polar Care Glacier?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://orthobracing.com/collections/breg-glacier" data-mce-href="https://orthobracing.com/collections/breg-glacier"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Polar Care Glacier</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> is a premium cold therapy system by Breg, a leader in orthopedic bracing and cold therapy products. Breg partners with thousands of clinics, physicians, and integrated delivery networks to provide quality physical therapy to millions of patients.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Breg's Polar Care Glacier reflects the company's commitment to high-quality care by providing over 13 hours of cold therapy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Physicians prefer the Polar Care Glaciers user-friendly design while patients enjoy enhanced comfort. This cold therapy system features Breg's ultra-quiet technology as high flow rates distribute temperatures evenly.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The Polar Care Glacier combines with a variety pads, sterile dressings, and wrap-on combos, providing superior cold therapy to shoulders, knees, ankles, hips, wrists, and backs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Clinicians enjoy the Glacier's durable and reliable construction. It also maximizes therapy time, leading to faster, long-lasting recovery.</span></p> <h2><b>More Benefits of the Breg Polar Care Glacier</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Durable design and therapy time optimization deliver an excellent return on investment. This cold therapy system is ideal for sports medicine physicians and physical therapists who treat everything from blunt injuries to chronic pain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">For example, health care professionals can combine their Glacier cold therapy unit with multi-use pads to treat multiple parts of the body. Buyers can also purchase pads, wrap-ons, and sterile dressings specifically designed to treat wrists, ankles, shoulders, hips, and more areas.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Pad sizes are also available in extra-large to accommodate more patients. The Polar Care Glacier also combines with polar eye masks and TMJ pads to relieve jaw and </span><a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/eye-pain" data-mce-href="https://www.healthline.com/health/eye-pain"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">ocular pain</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Not only do buyers enjoy a high return on investment, but patients become less dependent on prescription pain medications after surgery, making the Polar Care Glacier a top post-surgery recovery solution.</span></p> <h2><b>How Does the Polar Care Glacier Cold Therapy System Work?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The Polar Care Glacier is easy to use. It's so easy that patients can administer cold therapy at home.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">First, open the cooler lid by moving the handle to the unlock position. Remove the lid and fill the unit to the fill line with tap water. Next, fill the cooler with ice to the second fill line.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Place the lid back on the cooler and lock it in place.</span></p> <h3><b>Attaching the Polar Pad</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Retrieve the correct pad for cold therapy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Injuries need targeted treatment. For example, to treat a knee injury, use a Breg WrapOn knee pad with a matching dressing. Any other pad design may deliver too much coldness to the area, resulting in tissue injuries.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The dressing also works as an insulation barrier to protect the skin. Don't apply a Breg Polar Pad directly onto the skin without a sterile dressing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Breg Polar Pads come with soft, comfortable elastic straps to secure the pad in place. Place the pad over the injury, and pull the straps over the pad, wrapping them in place.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Notice the attachment on the Polar Pad. This attachment plugs directly into the Polar Care Glacier cooler.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Find the matching connector on the unit, press down the square buttons on both connectors, and plug them together. The attachments will make a click sound once fastened.</span></p> <h3><b>Using the Device</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Plug the power supply cord into the cooler's DC jack on top of the lid. The unit works immediately, circulating ice and water in the cooler and distributing cold water directly to the pad.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Check the skin every one to two hours to avoid any skin injuries. Patients can use the Polar Care Glacier at home under strict instructions from a doctor. Don't extend cold therapy beyond the prescribed limit.</span></p> <h3><b>Powering Off the Polar Care Glacier</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Simply unplug the unit to shut it off. Detach the pad from the unit by pressing down the square buttons on both connectors, unfastening both attachments.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Drain the pad by placing it over a sink with the hose pointing down. Squeeze the pad to remove any excess water. Empty the pad between every cold therapy session.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Drain and rinse the pump between uses. Twist off the unit's filter cap and run it under hot water. Pull out the small filter and rinse it out with hot water, as well.</span></p> <h2><b>Troubleshooting Tips</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">If the pad isn't cooling fast enough, ensure the power supply cord is securely fastened in the DC jack. Ensure there's enough water and ice in the unit. Make sure the wall outlet is working properly, as well.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Check to see if the cooler filter is clogged.
