The Thermal Pockets Story

One thing I know for sure is that pain isn’t pleasant. One of the highest priorities we have when we’re in pain is to get out of pain. ASAP. 

Unfortunately, most common pain relief methods are addictive or harmful in the long run. Opioids like OxyContin, Fentanyl, and Vicodin, and NSAIDs such as Motrin, Advil, Celebrex, and Aleve, fall into this category. They’re great at relieving your pain in the short term, but they can leave you with lasting issues.

Opioids and other painkillers are addictive. NSAIDs have been shown to cause joint problems, disrupt your gastrointestinal tract, and even cause liver and kidney damage. Other side effects, like constipation, make taking painkillers uncomfortable for many people. 

I believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your health to be pain-free.

My name is Colette Spears, and I founded Thermal Pockets to offer a better way to relieve pain from surgery and other injuries.

As a breast cancer survivor, I know how hard it can be to find natural pain relief. During my treatment with breast cancer, I endured five surgeries that left me feeling exhausted and sore. But even with as much pain as I was in, I didn't want to take opioids because of the risk of addiction and other adverse side effects. I wanted something easy to use that decreased my pain and helped my body heal. 

I finally discovered the power of one of nature’s most abundant pain-relieving gifts: ice. So I started icing my incisions, but as the ice melted, the moisture would get into the incision, which the doctors had explicitly warned against. This is what set me on the path to create Thermal Pockets. 

I’m an improvement specialist by trade with a Master’s degree in Engineering. So I felt compelled to design an icing system that prevented moisture from getting into my incision while maximizing the cooling flow to numb the pain.

Thermal Pockets custom design and compression band allows the right amount of cold to help numb the pain and decrease swelling. Without the leaky mess of traditional ice packs. Thermal Pockets are even designed with the softest medical-grade fabric possible, so they don't aggravate your skin or incision site.

It's time you stopped choosing between healing your body and getting rid of your pain. Thermal Pockets allow you to experience effective, natural pain relief whenever and wherever you need it.
