Will this apply heat/cold to your trapezius muscles at all?

not really mostly apply heat/cold to Infraspinatus muscle (rotator cuff muscle)

It will reach the lower portion of the muscle, not the upper portion in the neck.

No, the ice/heat pack doesnt go down that far. There is a pocket that it sits in. Its really meant for shoulder joint.

Not much, just at the edge closer to shoulder. look at the picture and imagine a ~5 by 8 inch heat/cold pack in both the front side and the backside. That's how much coverage you get.

Not really! It may for some people but for some reason not for me. Other reviewers made it sound like you were gonna be drenching in sweat! But I guess individual results may vary.

I honestly think it can because before I bought it I hesitated whether it is made of hard or soft material. When I got it I was really happy. It does the work effectively. If you do bicep curl, you should fasten it little up close to lower part of palm, that might solve your problem. However, I bought it for some bench and shoulder press

It does get the trapezius, and very nicely. One of the things you can do in custom mode is set the width.. so if you need some extra attention in close to the spine, you can set it for narrow.. if you need it farther out, you can set it that way, too. The neck, well, it'll get your neck, but it seems to lighten up a little in that area and isn't the best part of the massage,

Yes, Donna, it does. But you must pay attention to start using it as soon as you feel the first symptons. If the cold is already disturbing you, it will not help you.

The manual lists very specific locations to place the device, and the neck is not one of the places it recommends. It would seem very dangerous to put near your face and head because of the potential for disrupting the central nervous system. I am not sure about the trapezius and it is not listed in the guide as a place to place the device. You should check with your doctor.

I have not used it for heat. However, I believe that it was advertised for heat and cold.

It'll do about a 30 degree decline. If that's enough of a decline for you, there no reason you couldn't do dumbell press and situps with it.

No. Following the directions exactly in the box froze off the concerned areas & sealed right away its so cold. Careful with your hands around the applicator tip as it is incredibly cold and can 'burn"

Dudes, the product description says you can apply it cold. Tony, did you ever get an answer? Have you tried applying it cold? I'm curious too. Thanks!

Look up the ColdGear, it traps heat...The HeatGear will actually make it feel colder.

It is much stronger than icy hot...you want to wear rubber gloves to apply it unless you have arthritis in them as it really burns after rubbing it into the skin. It feels amazing on sore joints ad muscles though and works quickly.

No it doesn't cause body heat. No difference than plain cotton as far as body heat or cooling is concerned.

Nope. My GF, uses it with the correct exerciaes and it got firmer and toned in.

Yes for sure. You can do just a slight angle which I recommend to start with. I started at a pretty good angle and it made my legs really sore. I think I stretched the muslces out too far too fast. Believe it or not, just a slight angle for just 30-40 seconds does have an effect. You may not feel it right away but trust me, it's working!!!! I found that out the hard way! Hope this helps.

Yes, to some degree. It also affects the sternohyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscles. To what degree depends on the resistance, which is set by the user.
