Use the X Recovery arm sleevesin combination with cryotherapy or thermotherapy
Compression therapy helps reduce inflammation by boosting the elimination of metabolic waste and the build-up of toxins. Combining compression with heat increases muscle relaxation through vasodilation and relieves persistent pain. Conversely, combining compression with cold reduces inflammation and relieves pain through vasoconstriction. Compression therapy plus X Gel is a winning combination!

FAQ
Any questions?
Our experts are here to help
What size do I need?
The X Gel devices come in 6 different sizes suitable for all types of muscle and joint pain in athletes. From the ankle to the calf, knee, thigh, wrist, forearm, elbow or arm, there’s an X Gel for every part of the body! To find the right model for you, select the target area of the body, measure the circumference of the area, and consult the size guide.
How do I clean my X Gel?
To maintain your X Gel compression sleeve in good condition, it is important to never immerse it in water. You can clean it with a dry cloth, but it must never be fully wet.
What is Bionic Gel?
Bionic Gel is a unique formula that maintains optimal cold/warmth on the targeted muscle area during X Gel application.
Its increased thickness enables maximum cold/warmth to be accumulated and evenly distributed during use. What's more, Bionic Gel has been designed not to give off cold that could cause skin burns. You can therefore use it safely from the age of 6.
How long after exercise should the X Gel be used?
You can use your X Gel sleeve just after training and/or as soon as you experience the initial signs of inflammation or pain. Intense, repeated exercise can cause microtrauma in the muscles. Applying X Gel cryotherapy stimulates vasoconstriction and reduces inflammation. After ice application, as your body temperature increases, blood flow is stimulated and the body gets rid of metabolic waste more quickly.
Can I use my X Gel following an operation?
Technically, there is no contraindication to cold therapy for pain. In some post-operative cases, it can even speed up the healing process and reduce inflammation.
However, we advise you to seek your doctor's advice if in doubt, especially if you have just undergone major surgery.
How do I store my X Gel?
When it is not in use, keep your X Gel in its freezer pouch or original box. If the pouch gets lost or damaged, you can use a plastic freezer bag to protect your sleeve.
What precautions do I need to take when using the X Gel?
As Bionic Gel is mainly water-based, it must remain dry under all circumstances to retain its properties. When not in use, it must remain in its freezer bag. Before use, you should leave it in the freezer for at least 2 hours to reach the right temperature.
How often should I use the X Gel?
Health professionals, especially physiotherapists, recommend frequent short icing rather than long icing to avoid paradoxical vasodilation.
Ideally, you should use X Gel for 20-minute periods every 3 hours. You can ice the muscle or joint area at the first sign of inflammation: heat, redness, pain or swelling.
What should I do if I lose or damage my freezer pouch?
If the pouch gets lost or damaged, you can use any resealable plastic freezer bag to protect your sleeve.
