HydroCure Wrap® – a Modern Water Wrap for Fast, Natural Pain Relief
When the cool, moist layer touches the skin, it gently lowers surface temperature. The body reacts instantly by increasing local circulation — sending warm, nutrient-rich blood to the area. This natural “cool-then-warm” cycle eases pain, reduces tension and supports healthier tissue recovery.
Use HydroCure Wraps whenever someone at home needs natural relief:
- soothing sore throats, tonsillitis and tight chests at night
- relieving period cramps, arthritis, stiff or swollen joints
- calming migraines, sinus pressure and stressed, busy minds
Choose your wrap, add cool water — and let your body take over.
HydroCure Wraps® use the original Priessnitz wet method — a cool, moist inner layer wrapped with breathable insulation — to gently stimulate circulation, reduce tension and soothe discomfort within minutes. A simple, natural way to support the body during pain, inflammation, or everyday strain.
Cooling neck wraps that ease burning discomfort, calm swelling and support recovery when the throat feels inflamed.
The traditional Priessnitz cold–moist method can relax cramping muscles and soothe lower tummy tension naturally.
Cold, moist compression helps calm inflamed joints and ease stiffness in knees, elbows and wrists. As well as with growing pains in children.
A cooling head wrap lowers heat and pressure, easing throbbing pain and helping the mind settle.
Gentle cooling around the ear or jawline offers natural relief from sharp, pulsing discomfort.
A chest wrap helps soothe tightness, reduce heat and support easier breathing during colds or chest discomfort.
The chest/back wrap can be placed on the spine or lower back to cool inflamed tissues and calm muscle tension.
A cool head or neck wrap helps slow the nervous system, creating a grounding sense of calm before rest.
In 1842, Priessnitz’s renowned Water Cure was introduced to Malvern by leading English physicians. Today, HydroCure Wraps® proudly continue this tradition – officially endorsed by the Malvern Spa Association (MSA).

About Priessnitz method
Vasoconstriction
Initial cold application causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing inflammation and pain in the treated area.
Vasodilation
As the body responds, blood vessels expand, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to promote healing.
Reactive Hyperemia
Enhanced circulation accelerates natural healing processes and removes inflammatory byproducts.
Named after pioneering 19th century hydrotherapist Vincenz Priessnitz, this therapy reduces inflammation and accelerates healing, earning recommendations from physical therapists worldwide.

Whether you’re caring for children, supporting an injured joint or looking for gentle everyday therapy, HydroCure Wraps offer a simple system you can adapt to different needs.

Health Benefits
HydroCure Wraps are designed to support the body’s natural recovery – gently, safely and without medication.
Joint Pain Relief
Helps to calm irritation around joints and support better mobility through improved circulation.
Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle stimulation may encourage lymph flow and support the body’s own detoxification processes.
Respiratory Comfort
When used on the chest or throat, wraps can provide soothing comfort during coughs or congestion.
Natural Self-Healing
Uses only cool water, breathable fabric and the body’s own response – no electricity, no drugs.
How to use your HydroCure Wrap®
The method is simple: cool water, a damp inner layer and a dry outer wrap. Together they gently guide your body through the 3-phase response you’ve just read about.
Prepare
Soak the inner insert in cool water, then wring it out so it is damp but not dripping.
Insert
Place the insert under the inner strap of your wrap and smooth it so it lies evenly along the fabric.
Apply
Position the wrap on the neck, chest or joint and fasten it so it feels snug but comfortable.
How long to wear your wrap
Acute condition – short & frequent: wear the wrap for up to 20 minutes at a time. Shorter sessions help the body train its response without overwhelming the area.
Chronic condition – longer sessions: for long-standing issues, leave the wrap on for 2–3 hours so the tissues receive sustained circulation, oxygenation and lymph support.
Science & Research
The Priessnitz wrap is based on principles that are well recognised in modern physiology: controlled cooling, gentle warming and support of circulation and immune function.
Clinical studies on related hydrotherapy and contrast-therapy methods show that structured temperature treatment can reduce recovery time and improve comfort compared to cold alone.
We are working to bring together historical knowledge from Priessnitz spas and current scientific evidence so that you can better understand how HydroCure Wraps fit into modern self-care.
