Acute Injuries
ActivMend speeds up recovery and visibly reduces swelling for the full range of injuries shown above.
Recent Chronic Injuries
For recent chronic injuries, ActivMend can be highly effective—provided permanent tissue damage hasn’t occurred. It’s crucial to fully heal these injuries to prevent long-term collagen degradation.
🚀 Start using ActivMend at the first sign of injury.
🕒 For the first 48 hours, make sure to fully cover the joint. For Ankle sprains, place 2 patches next to each other around the joint for the first 48 hours. After the first 48 hours, continue using at least 1 patch until healed. Always replace the patches every 24 hours.
⚡ Using more patches can help you heal faster — and there's no risk of using too many.
Long-Term Chronic Injuries
If you’ve had the injury for a long time and ActivMend isn’t helping, it may mean there’s permanent collagen damage. In these cases, you may need to work with a doctor to help restart the healing process, possibly by irritating the tendon — and then using ActivMend to support healing.
Back Pain
If your back pain is caused by a muscle strain, ActivMend can help with pain relief and faster recovery. But if the pain is from a herniated disc, arthritis, or other conditions, ActivMend might help reduce swelling, but won’t fix the root cause.
Fractures
ActivMend can ease pain and swelling from a fracture — but it doesn’t help bones heal faster. Additionally, if the fracture is severe, pain levels might be too high for you to notice much benefit.
Shin Splints
ActivMend does not help with shin splints.
💡 ActivMend is made for minor injuries. If your injury is more severe, more patches might help, but in some cases the injury may be too serious for ActivMend to noticeably work.
Each box comes with five 24-hour healing gel patches, and kinesiology tape and athletic wrap to secure patches if needed.
