How HydroCure Wraps Work
A modern, easy-to-use version of the 200-year-old Priessnitz hydrotherapy method.
HydroCure Wraps use a simple sequence of gentle cooling followed by natural warming to support your body’s healing response.
The 3-Phase Response
The classic Priessnitz method activates three physiological phases:
Vasoconstriction
Initial coolness makes vessels gently tighten:
- reduces swelling
- calms inflammation
- soothes pain
Vasodilation
The body warms the area, bringing:
- fresh blood
- oxygen + nutrients
- deep relaxation
Reactive Hyperaemia
A gentle warm “after-effect” supports:
- circulation
- cell repair
- natural healing
Why choose HydroCure Wraps instead of a hot water bottle or cold pack?
Hot water bottles and cold packs only give one thing – strong heat or strong cold. HydroCure Wraps work differently: they use cool water and breathable layers to gently guide your body through a calming 3-phase response instead of shocking it.
Hot water bottle
- Only provides heat on the surface.
- Can be too hot for sensitive skin or children.
- Risk of burns, leaks, or discomfort when lying on it.
- Heavy, hard and often moves or rolls away.
Cold compress / ice pack
- Only provides intense cold.
- Can feel too aggressive or “shocking” to the body.
- Often needs to be held in place by hand.
- Plastic surface, condensation or chemical gels on the skin.
HydroCure Wraps
- Use cool water, not extreme cold or heat.
- Trigger a 3-phase response: cooling → gentle warming → improved circulation.
- Soft, breathable cotton against the skin, cosy outer layer on top.
- Stay in place with fastenings – easy to wear lying down or moving.
- No electricity, no boiling water, no freezer blocks – just cool tap water.
In short: hot water bottles = only heat, cold packs = only cold, HydroCure Wraps = gentle cooling → warming → natural circulation support, inspired by the 200-year-old Priessnitz hydrotherapy method.
How to Use
- Soak the inner cotton layer in cool water.
- Wring out so it’s damp, not dripping.
- Insert into the wrap.
- Apply directly on the skin.
- Fasten the dry outer layer.
- Wear for 20–45 minutes.
What you may feel
