Side of Hip Pain

Strategic Side Hip Pocket Placement

  • Targets the tensor fascia latae (TFL) region at the front and side of the hip

  • Extends over the greater trochanter area commonly associated with hip bursitis irritation

  • Aligned with the gluteus medius muscle along the outer hip

  • Coverage of the upper iliotibial band (ITB) region where tension and overuse symptoms are commonly felt

  • Aligned with the lateral hip joint and surrounding soft tissues commonly affected by hip osteoarthritis (OA)

  • Helps deliver targeted icing to key side hip recovery zones during flare-ups, post-activity soreness, or repetitive strain

Engineered for recovery. Designed for movement.

Traditional ice packs can be awkward to use on the side of the hip, often shifting out of place and making it difficult to stay mobile during recovery. Cryowear’s targeted side hip pocket placement is designed to keep cold therapy comfortably positioned over commonly injured areas, helping to support focused icing without interrupting your day.
