Abstract: A cryogenic therapeutic massage Tube includes a pressure-deformable gel, which may be cooled by freezing, and which is permanently encased in a flexible thermally conductive material to substantially define a cylindrical compress having a diameter of about 4 to 7 inches and a ratio of length-to-diameter in a range of about 2 to about 4. The deformable cylindrical compress is proportioned to engage a plurality of anatomic curves including curves of the neck, back, feet and hands, and to impart thereto a soothing, cooling and pain relieving effect, in which such tube or cylinder of cryogenic gel may be provided within a thick cloth sack to preclude skin burn and absorb moisture from the surface of the skin against which the compress is applied.
