Training for and competing in the London Marathon will have an impact upon the whole body but particularly on feet, ankles, legs and knees.

The ice pack inserts are made with gel which is separated into compartments enabling the Dura Soft Foot and Ankle Ice Pack Wrap to be wrapped around the ankle for complete cold therapy.

For injured knees the Dura Soft Knee Ice Pack Wrap will provide continuous cold therapy to the knee. The Dura Soft Knee Ice Pack Wrap is suitable for acute and chronic knee injuries making it an essential recovery product for London Marathon Training.

The knee ice pack is available in one universal size and will fit both the left and right leg and is a must for anyone competing in the London Marathon.
