After helping over 300,000 people we know that we can support you through the entire healing process, because we understand what you're going through! Not only do you get the products you need, but you get our full support. We will help you get better. There's no risk, we guarantee it!
A labral hip tear can come about from a few different reasons. If you had a one time injury like a fall or a big jump that caused the problem all at once, that's easy to avoid again. If the condition developed from something you don't recall, it's possible there are factors in your daily life that are injuring your labrum constantly. It's important to know the cause so that you can prevent reinjury.
Your hip is going to need some rest. This doesn't mean you won't be able to resume normal life later. You just need to get over the hump of healing. Rest your hip. As you feel better you can start to slowly resume your old activities. Use the pain as your guide, though. If it hurts, let up. It's not forever, but you need to give your labrum time to heal if you really want to get rid of the problem. If you have identified and corrected the triggering cause, with some rest and the right treatment, you can put your labrum tear behind you for good.
There's a lot of misinformation about treatment of hip injuries. Sciatica and Piriformis syndrome are also very painful hip and back injuries but what works for those can be harmful for a torn labrum. TENS devices that give you little electric pulses are bad for a labral tear. TENS only deadens the nerves to stop pain but doesn't help tissue heal at all. Those jolts and twitches they produce are just going to strain your hip more and likely make your condition worse. Don't use TENS.
Similarly, there are a lot of creams and topical products sold that claim they will help. The truth is your labrum is buried deep inside your hip. It is covered by skin and fat and then various muscles and tendons and then there is a thick band of ligaments surrounding the outside. A topical cream will never get to even the surface of the ligaments let alone penetrate that armor to get to the labrum. If they numb the nerves around the area then they will lure you into doing activities that will likely hurt your labrum further.
There's no doubt it hurts. A torn labrum can be a really debilitating pain. But taking pain killers and driving through the pain is likely to make your condition worse. Pain relieving creams are tempting but dangerous too. In the end the pain is there to warn you that your current activity is aggravating your condition. Masking that pain is likely to make your condition worse in the long run.
The whole reason you are addressing the issue is because of the pain. The pain is limiting your ability to do the things you enjoy and want to do. To begin with, anything you attempt, start gently. Whatever the activity is that hurts but you really want to do, if you're determined to do it, ease your body into it when you start. If you can start lightly, do so. Often people with Labrum Tears feel a lot of pain initially but the pain lets up after a little while. The key thing is to respect the pain when you feel it. Don't drive through it aggressively, because that can irritate the condition further. Go at it slowly, and you will find that you can have minimal pain as your ability to do the activity increases.
If you want to be more proactive, BFST treatments before activity go a long way to increasing the blood flow in your hip before you begin your activity. A BFST treatment in advance of the activity reduces the amount of damage and pain you will endure from the start. The lubricating and stimulating effects help heal your tissue at rest and prevent reinjury pre-workout. If you are determined to stay active as your hip heals, BFST treatments will help you do just that.
To deal with pain in the moment, though, nothing beats cold compression. ColdCure Back and Hip Wraps are designed to quickly eliminate the pain of labral injuries. They suck the pain out of your hip very quickly, reduce swelling, and help stabilize your injury. ColdCure works better than pain killers because the results are immediate. ColdCure treatments actually reduce the factors that cause the pain. Painkillers just block the sensation and do nothing to help you heal. Anytime you are highly active with your leg, use a ColdCure afterwards to help stabilize the injury, even if you don't feel pain. ColdCure after activity goes a long way to reducing the long term damage from the activity, and reducing reinjury is key to speeding overall recovery.
Note: The packaging shown has the wrap on the back. The wrap is very versatile and can be positioned immediately over your labrum tear for dealing with your specific condition. The Back and Hip wrap are actually quite versatile and can be used on a variety of body parts if needed.
Never forget that the most effective treatment for a labrum tear is rest. Your body needs some time to heal. Stopping everything isn't possible, but lighten up as much as you can to let the underlying condition improve.
You can further accelerate the healing process by stimulating blood flow. This is what is happening when Physiotherapists treat you with Ultrasound. Ultrasound is a diathermic medical device that stimulates blood flow in deep tissue to promote circulation which in turn promotes healing. The issue is that the benefit of diathermy treatments last for around 4 hours, so one treatment every two or three days is kind of like taking a Tylenol once every few days to treat a migraine. Once in a while won't solve the problem. You need regular treatments. And Ultrasound needs a technician to treat you - you can't get one yourself to do it at home. There is a diathermic product you can get to use at home though.
King Brand 'BFST' stands for 'Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy'. BFST devices are diathermic medical devices that promote blood flow that you can buy yourself and use at home or wherever you are. This way you can give yourself diathermic treatments several times each day, maximizing the benefits of this type of medical treatment, and helping you heal as fast as you can.
To treat your labrum buried deep in your hip joint, you need to use a Back and Hip BFST wrap to promote healing of the deep, underlying injury. With a bit of rest, regular Cold Compression to reduce the swelling and pain, and regular Elbow BFST healing treatments, you have the best tools available for finally getting rid of your labral tear. Finally and completely.

It's impossible to rest 100% of the time. You have a life and demands that mean you have to get around sometimes. When your injury is still bad enough that you sometimes feel pain, you need to do what you can to protect yourself during your daily activities. So, when you are active, you should tape the injured area to reduce the amount of reinjury you get from your activity.
You see most professional athletes taped up because they inevitably get injured, and they can't stop doing their thing, so they tape when they are active to try to keep the damage to a minimum. They're not wearing bands or sleeves or anything else; it's always tape. It's always tape for a good reason.
You can be sure, tight bands around your joints are a bad idea. They squeeze the area more than they give it support and that squeezing during activity can cause extra rubbing and strain on your ligaments and tendons, possibly leading to more injuries over time. Athletes tape because tape gives support from the skin side without squeezing the joint and putting you at further risk.
So keep your activity to a minimum while you're on the mend, and tape when you have to be active. In time you will be able to increase your activity level, gradually, as you put your issues behind you for good.
You see it all the time. A professional athlete gets a hip or groin injury. It's often the same injury you struggle with, yet the professional athlete is competing again in a matter of weeks while most people suffer for months on end. How can that be? The difference is that most people take pain killer and just rest while pro athletes take action. Pro athletes are using these tools to heal quickly. And the reality is that anyone with a torn labrum can get them too. King Brand® makes those tools. Tons of professional athletes use King Brand products, and we can provide them to you as well.
Labral Tears and other forms of hip injuries are some of the most persistent conditions many people are faced with. Whether it's due to a sudden trauma or the result of repetitive strain, once damaged, the hip joint can be incredibly resistant to healing. Patients with labral tears rarely take the time necessary to rest their hip so it can heal completely. For medical professionals it is impractical to expect the patient to not use a leg for weeks or months while the body heals itself. For the practical treatment of a Hip Labrum Tear, a more proactive solution is required. This solution is King Brand® Healthcare's ColdCure® and BFST® Back and Hip Wraps.
King Brand® soft tissue rehabilitation medical products are the #1 choice of top Athletic Therapists and Medical Practitioners worldwide. We provide guaranteed results and customer satisfaction. Like all King Brand® products, there simply isn't a better performing option. All King Brand® products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Try our products and if you're not completely impressed, you can send them back for a full refund.

The King Brand® products shown are FDA Registered medical devices. That is not all. They have also been registered with Health Canada which means they received twice as much review.
FDA and Health Canada Registration does not mean that we filled out a form to become Registered. Our medical claims are significant, and because of these claims the various agencies have looked deep into our technology.
We have submitted to FDA our proprietary research and technology to back up the claims that we make.
King Brand has participated in far more than a basic registration process. All the agencies have come to our facilities for week-long inspections to ensure that the end user is always receiving the safest, most effective medical devices we can offer. With two different countries of regulators this means our products have twice the oversight, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.
It is not required by the government agencies, but we are also ISO-13485 compliant and registered. This enforces medical standards that are established by the International Standards Organization for global manufacturers of medical devices. This means more on-site, week long, audits every year, ensuring our quality and products meet strict international standards.
Beyond what is required by any regulator, we use only the safest materials in our products. ISO-10993 regulation ensures that our products are made from higher quality materials than most baby products, including diapers. This is the highest bio-compatibility safety standard in the world. This is the highest hospital grade - think Intensive Care and Operating Rooms. Our materials go through ISO-10993 testing to ensure they are safe for you. No consumer products are produced to this high standard.
King Brand products are, in fact, hospital grade through and through. IEC-60601 is the International Standard for Medical Device safety from an electrical standpoint. In spite of the BFST® being an electrical device, BFST® can be used in hospital emergency rooms and operating rooms without affecting other equipment. You can use any medical device with a BFST® and neither device will know the other one is there. This is a very tough standard to meet, but we do it and you benefit.
King Brand products meet over 20 different safety and quality standards that are beyond what is required even for medical devices and FDA registration. If we think there is anything that can be done to make our products safer and more effective, we have done it. That is the approach to everything we do and that is why our company and products are so highly regarded.

Physiotherapists and doctors recommend you keep moving, because it helps to promote blood flow in many injured areas. Often, we reduce our activity when we are injured and that leads to weakening muscles called Atrophy. Physiotherapy is also intended to help strengthen the surrounding muscles to rebuild that lost muscle. But it can be harmful if stretching and exercises are started too early. Your injury first needs to stabilize, and in order to stabilize the injury you need to rest. If you still have significant injury, any physio you do should start off very light.
Our advice is, don't start Physical Therapy until your condition has stabilized. When you start, if you feel any pain during or after PT, speak up! Your clinician can't feel what you feel, so it is very important to advocate for yourself during physio. Let them know how it feels at each stage so they can use that as a guide to treat you properly. PT is not supposed to hurt and if it does you may be re-injuring your hip.
We're not saying don't move, we're saying don't start with heavy loads and stretching early. The motion doctors are seeking is just to move the joint somewhat. That motion can be standing on your good leg and gently swaying your bad leg. Move, but don't move to extremes where you are stretching the joint early on. Motion is very important for a hip labrum injury because the synovial joint requires motion for circulation of the synovial fluid. Regular motion is important and will help you heal, but heavy loads and stretching will only slow your healing early in the injury recovery cycle.
Often PT's tend to push limits. Once you are well on your way and the injury is very stable that's not such a bad thing. Once the injury is stable, pushing a bit - not to the point of pain - will help to strengthen tissue that will have atrophied. Early on, pushing is not good. PT can be an excellent help later in the recovery process though.
When you rest, your blood flow slows down which doesn't help your injury heal. This is why BFST® is so important to start early on in your recovery. The BFST® will increase blood flow - when you can't exercise and stretch - to promote the healing process. That stimulation also helps prevent reinjury when you become more active. Start BFST early. The earlier the better! Use the BFST® to warm up your hip before PT and before any other heavy activity. This will help prevent further injury as a result of the PT activity.
At the beginning of your injury, even before the injury has had a chance to stabilize and long before you start physio, the ColdCure® Wraps will help keep the pain and swelling under control. Always use your ColdCure® wrap after any heavy activity and after PT.
The KB Support Tape™ should be applied every morning and worn all day long to help prevent re-injury, including to physiotherapy. For many people, King Brand® products, used in the comfort of your own home, are all that is required without having to attend and pay for Physical Therapy appointments. Because you don't have to move to use them, the King Brand BFST® and ColdCure® Wraps can be started any time in your recovery process.
Blood flow works to improve cell growth and aids in proper functioning of the organs. Our blood contains oxygen and nutrients that our body needs in order to help heal. When we're injured, blood flow to the area is usually significantly restricted. That's why promoting blood flow to the area of injury is so important. This is what opens up the blood vessels, so the soft tissue can receive the oxygen and nutrients it needs in order to heal. By promoting an increase in blood flow to the area, the extra blood flow will also carry away the waste by-products that are left over from the time of the injury.
The BFST® Wrap is a diathermic device that stimulates blood flow deep within the soft tissue, providing nutrient-rich, optimized blood flow to your injury. Diathermy is well-recognized and accepted by the medical community as an effective means of promoting sub-dermal blood flow in order to speed up healing and recovery times. Remember, all King Brand® wraps are Class II Registered FDA Medical Devices.
The BFST® is NOT a typical heating pad. Heating pads bring blood to the surface of your skin and make it hot to the touch. BFST® Wraps stimulate blood flow deep beneath your skin to repair your damaged tissue. Bringing blood to the surface of your skin does nothing to heal the injury deep below. Your hip labrum is very deep in your body protected by a lot of tissue, much deeper than you will get with a conventional heating pad. BFST® Wraps work to actively heal your soft tissue injury through promotion of blood flow. Ordinary heating pads can't do this.
Medical Device credibility is important. At King Brand® we've taken the time to make sure that all of our BFST® products perform the way we claim they will. We've taken the time to make sure that they're the safest Medical Device on the market, and provided peace of mind with our Treatment Advisors being available to support you through your entire treatment process. At King Brand® we are confident that we can treat soft tissue injuries and always stand behind our Money Back Guarantee.
At rest, your injury is not promoting blood flow, and activity can re-injure and cause pain and swelling. The King Brand BFST® promotes circulation and blood flow while you are at rest. Thus, providing you with a safe and effective way to heal in comfort.
People love the way BFST® treatments feel. They are very pleasant and relaxing. During treatment, you will notice a slight warming sensation. Some people also experience a slight tingling sensation resulting from the increase in blood flow. We recommend 3-4 BFST® treatments per day, spread throughout the day. The effects of each 20 minute treatment last for up to 4 hours, so even when your treatment is over, your blood flow is still working to help you heal.
The BFST treatments are very comfortable and soothing. The BFST® uses Electromagnetic Energy to stimulate blood flow underneath the surface of the skin. It is warm, but not hot. It does not vibrate like a massager. (You shouldn't use a massager directly on soft tissue injuries) It does not cause your muscles to tense in jolts like with a TENS machine. (TENS machines are very bad for soft tissue injuries) The BFST® isn't supposed to do either of those things. Rather, it is soothing and sometimes gives you a gentle tingling sensation in the treatment area. BFST treatments are very pleasant and enjoyable.
Don't be confused, while the treatments feel gentle, they are still very powerful. Think about an X-RAY or an MRI. Even though you don't feel the energy during those procedures, a lot of energy is definitely going deep into your body. If you put your ear close to the BFST when it is on, you can actually hear it going through the cycles. It's not loud, but you can hear it if you listen. It isn't just delivering one energy level at one frequency. Just like an MRI machine, the BFST buzzes and hums and gets louder and more quiet as it goes through the treatment cycle. It sounds just like a mini-MRI machine. Over the 20 minute treatment period it goes through a treatment cycle to deliver the most energy in the most effective way. It is designed to help give you the fastest healing time possible, in the comfort of your home.
During each BFST® treatment you will only feel a mild warming sensation. If it feels hot, you are using it on too high of a setting. Over time, after several treatment sessions, the treatments will feel like they are getting less and less warm. This is your body responding to the BFST® treatments by increasing your subdermal blood flow. The more BFST treatments you do, the less warmth you're going to feel. This is a good sign. Your tissue is becoming healthier. Your body is getting stronger. This means that your circulation through your injury is improving, and your injury is improving. When the feeling of warmth during a treatment is almost all gone, this is the signal that it is time to move up to the next level. People usually move up to the second level after a few weeks of treatment.
To minimize pain and swelling from your Labrum Tear, complete a ColdCure® treatment any time your pain level increases, or if you have been active. The ColdCure® Hip Wrap provides superior relief of the swelling and pain that comes with hip injuries. ColdCure® Hip Wraps use cold and compression together, because cold and compression are the two things you need to eliminate pain and swelling as quickly and effectively as possible.
Don't let the pain of your hip control you. If your joint hurts, just apply the ColdCure® Hip Wrap. The application of cold compression must be uniform and complete if it's going to work the best. This is why the ColdCure® Wrap has been designed to mold to your body, to perfectly target the pain.
A hip labral tear can be so painful and debilitating that it causes us to rely heavily on pain killers. But honestly, pain killers are not your friend. It is understandable that you are looking for the relief from pain. Remember, though, the pain is there to stop us from hurting your hip joint further. The pain is your body saying please stop doing that! While pain killers are a welcome relief, they can be dangerous to take when you're active. Pain killers can completely block the pain signal, making you unaware of any further damage you could be doing to your hip. Pain killers should be restricted to times of rest.
When it comes to pain killers, some products are much more effective than others. Some can actually help your injury when used correctly and others will only make it worse. According to the National Institute of Health, our own government body tells us that Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits. And acetaminophen (Tylenol) won't help you get better one bit. It only puts you at risk of more injury. If you want help choosing the right pain killer and want advice on how to use it more safely and correctly, give us a call at 1-844-672-9440. We will give you excellent guidance. No charge. No purchase necessary.
To maximize healing and minimize pain and swelling, complete a BFST® treatment right before bed. We can give you advice on medication you can take to reduce the pain and help you heal while you sleep. The BFST® treatment will work towards healing while you sleep, and the medication will work to relieve the pain and inflammation so that you can experience restful sleep. During the day, ColdCure® treatments are the best choice to continue to reduce inflammation while you are active. Our medical grade injury tape, KB Support Tape™, is excellent for reducing re-injury and pain when you need to be active as well. If you're in pain, give us a call now for free advice 1-844-672-9440.
Avoid the dangers of pain killers. King Brand ColdCure® Back/Hip Wraps are much safer and more effective than pain killers.

Customer: John from Hawaii ColdCure Back | BFST Back Sept 23, 2022
One of the best features about the Hip and Back wraps is that they can be used for a lot more than just your hip tear. These are very versatile wraps. They should really be called universal wraps! Both the ColdCure and the BFST wraps have a flexible design that allows the straps to fasten literally anywhere on the wrap. This means you can make it much smaller or much larger and use it on any part of your body. If your neck or shoulder hurts you can sling it over one shoulder and position the pad over any injury anywhere on your upper body. Does your leg hurt or your knee? You can use it there too. If you're not the only person at home with an injury, it's entirely possible that you can both use the wraps for your unique injuries.
The BFST® and ColdCure® Back Wraps have been designed with versatility in mind. The Back wrap has a flat treatment area that's 9" x 7" that is big enough to target any area of the body. And it's very powerful - one of the most powerful styles we have, both in the Cold and BFST versions. This means that you have endless possibilities to apply the Back/Hip Wrap wherever you feel pain. The Back Wraps have been tested for continual usage, so it's acceptable to do multiple treatments over multiple areas over the body during the day.
For dealing with the swelling and pain associated with a Back or Hip Injury, nothing works better than cold compression.
ColdCure® technology was developed specifically to address the need for a cold compression device that does not freeze the skin or underlying tissue. ColdCure® gel packs pose no threat of cold burns or permanent tissue damage caused by freezing of the skin. This makes them much safer to use than other products that use ice. ColdCure® gel packs are completely safe to use for extended treatment durations, meaning faster relief of pain and swelling. Our ColdCure® technology is a huge improvement on regular ice packs.
The ColdCure® Back and Hip Wrap comes with 3 swappable cold packs that contain our unique XC RigiGel® formula. XC RigiGel® is firm yet flexible, unlike other gel formulas that are mushy and watery. This means the gel holds its form and doesn't move around to other areas of the pack. It stays in place over your injury, right where you need it. The gel won't move, even when put under heavy pressure for long periods of time.
Keep the gel packs in the freezer. The gel packs are inserted inside the wrap one at a time so you can always have two charging in the freezer to keep your therapy going. Do your ColdCure® treatments in 20 minute intervals. Use them whenever you want to relieve pain. Also use them after any heavy hip activity even if you don't feel pain at the time.
KB Support Tape™ provides lightweight, comfortable compression to help you throughout the day. It also helps to prevent re-injury by giving your healing tissue targeted support and protection, without restricting your range of motion.
KB Support Tape™ comes in 2 different sizes: 2 inch wide and 3 inch wide. We recommend the 3 inch wide tape for Hip Bursitis. The 3 inch wide tape is 3 inches wide and 16 feet long and comes in either Beige or Black. There is no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.
The wide tape comes in a continuous roll that you cut using scissors into lengths for your unique injury. Every injury is different and you will adjust how you tape your injury over time based on what works for you. In most cases you will tape in an 'X' or 'T' formation, using two strips of tape, where 'X' marks the spot over the most painful area.
Applying the KB Support Tape is easy. The tape stretches along its length. Stretch the pieces about half their stretch when you apply each piece. To apply the KB Support Tape to your hip, you will need 2 pieces of tape; one 8" piece, and one 5" piece. The 8" piece of tape will be applied vertically down your leg. The 5" piece will go across the long piece as shown. Where you are feeling the pain in your hip should be covered with the tape, with the tape crossing over the most painful spot.
When you are done, the two pieces of tape will cross over where you're feeling the pain. Over time, try modifying your unique taping method to ensure that you're getting the best support. You'll know the best taping style because you'll really notice how much less your hip hurts through the day when you have it right. Remember to listen to what your body is telling you. Use the pain as a guide. If you feel the pain in a specific area of your hip, apply the tape to that area.
You guys did really a fabulous job, got everything out to me fast, I love the products, they're brilliant. They fit great, they're easy to use.
I'm a big fan.

BFST® + ColdCure® Treatments
BFST® for Rapid Healing
ColdCure® for Pain & Swelling
KB Tape™ to Prevent Re-Injury
Combination Therapy means using ColdCure® and BFST® in combination by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape™. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just ColdCure® or just BFST®. This is because you're getting both the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, as well as the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape™. The combination results in the absolute best treatment for your torn labrum.
A very important part of treating your condition is to use the ColdCure® Wrap. This will help to help reduce the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue. You can use it several times a day. Use it anytime you want pain relief and after any significant exercise of your hap and leg, even if it doesn't hurt afterward.
You should rely more heavily on ColdCure® treatments immediately after exercise because the inflammation will continue to re-develop when you are active. Being aggressive with back to back cold treatments after exercise will give your body a chance to get ahead of the inflammation, and prepare your hip for the blood flow that's needed to help heal quickly.
Introduce your BFST® treatments at your less active times of day and before significant exercise if you have to do some. Keep your swelling and inflammation under control with ColdCure® but do not use ColdCure® and BFST® close together. Use BFST® in the morning, before bed, and after longer periods of resting your injury. When doing your treatments, you should only feel a slight warming sensation. At any time, if it feels HOT or uncomfortable, the treatment will not be as effective as if it is just mildly warm.
Each BFST® Treatment will last only 20 minutes, but the increase in blood flow will last up to four hours. Ideally your treatments should be spaced out throughout the day, so you can promote good blood flow all day long. If you can't do 3-4 treatments a day, your two most important treatments are first thing in the morning, and right before you go to bed. This will ensure that you have a great start to your day and you can rest well at night.
If you are planning on being active throughout the day, complete a BFST® treatment before any type of physical activity. It can be as simple as mopping the floor. Always assess how you are feeling after your activity, as there's a chance you may need to apply your ColdCure® to treat any new inflammation generated during your activities.
The goal with your BFST® Treatments is not to increase on the levels as quickly as possible, but to condition your circulatory system to allow for the much needed increased blood flow. Staying on the lowest level to where you feel any warmth - remember it's just a slight warmth - will be the most effective way to start healing your labral injury. When can you move up to the next level? You can move up in levels when you feel barely any warmth from the wrap at all. This means that you've successfully conditioned your circulation and you're ready to move up. Some people can move up in a few weeks, some people it takes a lot longer. It just depends on how well your body adjusts to the increase in blood flow.
Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. Remember, staying on top of your inflammation will allow you to complete more BFST® treatments throughout the day.
Wait 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment before doing another BFST® treatment. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment, unless you notice an increase in pain during your BFST® Treatment.
ColdCure® treatments will slow down the blood flow, which isn't ideal, but is sometimes necessary to relieve the swelling and inflammation generated. The BFST® will increase your blood flow which is important for faster healing.
KB Support Tape™ is very important to help with your condition's recovery. As you move throughout the day, your skin and your tendons move with you. Using the KB Support Tape™ over your injury will make your skin less flexible - therefore protecting your injury - without restricting your range of motion. KB Support Tape™ can be used at the same time as your BFST® and ColdCure® Treatments without any issues. Try to have your first BFST® treatment of the day without the KB Support Tape™ applied. After your BFST® treatment has been completed, then apply the tape. Removing the tape before the last BFST® treatment of the day will provide the best results.
When you're recovering from a labral tear in your hip, the pain ends long before you've finished healing. In fact, the pain is usually gone once your tissue is about 20-30% healed. The entire healing process is very complex, and takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story on tissue healing). The key thing to remember is that long after the pain stops, your underlying injury is still healing. This means you need to keep doing BFST® treatments in order to complete the healing process. Doing regular BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone is extremely beneficial. Do a BFST® treatment prior to any physical activity. This will act as a warm up for your circulatory system. You should also continue to use KB Support Tape™ to help protect the joint from re-injury.
BFST® Wraps are FDA Registered Class II medical devices. They're made with medical grade materials and comply with many standards and regulations. This includes ensuring safe, effective treatments. Medical devices are held to much higher standards than consumer grade products, because unlike consumer goods, BFST® Wraps are FDA Registered.
Blood flow is the most critical element in rapid recovery, which is why BFST® treatments are so important. A hip with an injury normally has very limited blood flow. BFST® Wraps help to restore function by promoting blood flow to the affected area of your hip, deep below the skin. While physical activity is one way to promote blood flow, this can further aggravate the labrum. The BFST® Back/Hip Wrap stimulates nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood flow while you're at rest. This allows you to rest and avoid further aggravation while improving your circulation at the same time. You won't find this technology anywhere else.
The BFST® Wrap is a diathermic device that stimulates blood flow deep within the soft tissue, providing nutrient-rich, optimized blood flow to your hip. Diathermy is well-recognized and accepted by the medical community as an effective means of promoting sub-dermal blood flow in order to speed up healing and recovery times. Remember, our wraps are Class II Registered FDA Medical Devices and have been approved by FDA and several other medical regulators globally.
At rest, your hip is not promoting blood flow. But activity can re-injure and cause pain and swelling. Our BFST® device promotes circulation and blood flow while you are at rest, thus providing you with a safe and effective way to heal in comfort.
BFST® Wraps come with a 3 level power controller. Everyone should start their treatments on Level 1 and work their way through the levels gradually as their symptoms decrease. BFST® treatments are very pleasant and relaxing. You may experience a slight warming sensation and/or tingling sensation as the BFST® starts the blood flowing.
When you first start your treatments on Level 1, your hip area may feel quite warm. This is because, at first, your circulation is poor. The more treatments you do, the less warmth you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that your circulation is improving. Better circulation means blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel very little warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though. More heat doesn't mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.
We recommend 3-4 blood flow treatments per day. Each treatment is 20 minutes and the effects of each treatment last for up to 4 hours, so it's best to spread your treatments out over the day. This way you'll be receiving optimal blood flow all day long. Even once you feel healed, you should keep doing regular blood flow treatments in order to maintain your healing. An ideal treatment regimen would be one treatment first thing in the morning, another treatment in the afternoon, a treatment in the evening, and the last treatment of the day right before bed.
Once you begin to resume your activities, stimulate your blood flow prior to physical activity to help prevent re-injury. This acts as a warm-up for your circulatory system.
The Energy Web® of the Hip BFST® device is enclosed in a soft, comfortable neoprene wrap. The wrap shapes the Energy Web® to mold around the changing form of the hip to ensure that there is an even distribution of energy over the entire injured area. The wrap is secured using attached Velcro® straps that guarantee a perfect fit. The wrap and unwrap design also allows for easy application to a tender, injured body. After treatment, the wrap does not need to be removed. The straps can be further tightened to provide snug support and protection for the injured hip. The device disconnects at the wrap from the power supply and controller so you are free to move around your home when not receiving treatment, while still wearing the wrap for support and comfort. The device is incredibly comfortable to wear.
King Brand makes excellent products that work!!!
I purchased the hip and back option and chose the heat and cool options which is a winning combo! I experienced immediate relief in my hip, which has been scheduled for total replacement on January 3rd 2022, but I'm feeling better! And my back, which has a "slipped disk" has experienced relief!
I love the products so much I purchased both options for the back as a gift for my Dad!
Thanks King Brand!

Not all support tape is created equal. At King Brand®, our tape is medical tape, not athletic tape. This means our tape is manufactured to ISO 10993 standards, which ensures that our tape is made from extremely safe, biocompatible materials. Our tape is actually made from safer materials than most baby products, including toys, clothes and even diapers. Don't let the big brand tapes fool you. Most of them are made from toxic materials, because there are no standards for athletic tape like there are for medical tape. Some big brand athletic tape glues even contain carcinogenic ingredients. At King Brand®, your health and safety is of utmost importance, which is why KB Support Tape™ is manufactured to such high standards.
ColdCure® Wraps are FDA Registered Class I medical devices. They exceed all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy, specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries. When applied, the ColdCure® Wrap immediately reduces the risk of further damage from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long-term permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries.
All of our ColdCure® Wraps are entirely made of very soft, stretchy material. They come with 3 swappable cold packs that contain our unique XC RigiGel® formula. The gel packs are inserted inside the wrap one at a time, so you can have the other two charging in the freezer to keep your therapy going. Do your ColdCure® treatments in 20 minute intervals throughout the day, or as long as you need the relief.
Many people follow the RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - formula when treating a soft tissue injury. While RICE is a popular method, the reality is that ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your skin and underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice - we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.
ColdCure® RigiGel® packs are much safer and more effective than ice and products that use mushy blue gel.
Why?
Because RigiGel® packs are like ice, but they stay at 32°F, the exact and best temperature for pain relief.
While they may start at about -4°F straight from the freezer, after a few minutes they will go to 32°F and stay at 32°F for a long time.
Not all freezers are the same so we build extra safety into the packs. If you find the gel pack too stiff from the freezer to use in the wrap, that's because it came out too cold to be safe. Leave it out for 1-2 minutes though and it's good to go! Then it will bend enough for inserting it inside the wrap. When the pack is soft enough to bend, it's ready to use for treatment. So simple and so safe!
More Gel = More Cold. XC Gel® packs contain 3x more gel by weight than ordinary gel packs. This means they cover a much larger area. When stored in the freezer, XC Gel® packs have 10x more cooling power than other products. So, you get longer treatments without having to recharge the gel packs as often. It also means faster relief of pain and swelling. Bigger gel packs with more gel inside, plus superior cooling power, ultimately means a better, more effective treatment.
Regular gel packs are notorious for having hot and cold spots. When cold pressure is applied to an injury, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. Our XC RigiGel® packs distribute cold energy evenly throughout the entire gel pack. The energy in our gel packs is transferred from the cold spots to the warm spots much more effectively. This is a valuable improvement as your injury will receive a consistent cold treatment, every time. The temperature balancing power of this gel formula is unmatched.
XC RigiGel® is firm yet flexible. We describe it as 'gel that bends like rubber' because even though it bends and molds to the shape of your body, it always stays in place. Unlike gooey blue gel that easily gets pushed to other areas of the wrap, our gel won't flow away from your injured spot. Even under very extreme pressure, it stays soft, but it won't budge. No matter how much pressure, the gel always stays in place over your injured spot. RigiGel conforms to the painful area for an even, consistent treatment every time.
ColdCure® Hip and Back gel packs are specially designed to conform to the curve of your hip to provide your injury with an even distribution of cooling power. Every one of our ColdCure® Wraps comes with gel packs that are custom designed for the body part to ensure the best fit and treatment possible. We don't just use one generic gel pack shape. Every body part is uniquely shaped, which is why all of our gel packs are uniquely shaped too. If you want a product that is 100% designed to treat hip joint injuries, you need the ColdCure® Hip Wrap.
XC RigiGel® packs have 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. Both sides will give you all the same benefits that our high performance XC RigiGel® formula has to offer. The gel packs can be inserted inside the wrap with the white side facing towards your skin and hip or away from your skin and hip since they are not side specific.
King Brand® soft tissue rehabilitation medical products are the #1 choice by top Athletic Therapists and Medical Practitioners worldwide. We provide guaranteed results and customer satisfaction. Like all King Brand® products, there simply isn't a better performing option for treating a torn labrum. All King Brand® products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Try our products and if you are not completely impressed, you can send them back for a full refund. We know you will love them though because hundreds of thousands of people already use them.
