can this be used on other areas like the hip?

I don't think it would be useful for the hip. Better option is a large ice pad inside a pillow case.

I don't think it would work well for the hip , you'd be better off with a std flat gel instead

It is folded and put on like a shirt sleeve but you could lay it on a hip. However, it is very heavy.

I was planning to use it on he muscles around my knee. There is no reason not to use it on other parts of the body since what is it doing is stimulating muscles. TENS therapy, which is what this is, is applied in many locations n the body, so the answer is yes. All the best.

I don't know what it does for the hips. I bought this over a bike, because my physical therapist said the rotary motion of a bike is not good for my knees. This is just pushing back & forth. Good Luck

I would think it would work on all areas just may be painful process for the thigh area unless you hold the skin tight and it's head has the capacity of covering a smaller area so it would be a very time consuming process also.

It can. My daughter has used it on her arms and legs. I personally like using it for my arm pits and bikini area, but I have also used it for travel to touch up legs too. Hope that helps. :)

I would guess it would if the source of the hip pain is the lumbar spine. If it is solely hip joint pain, not a chance.

You can use it all over the body and will give you great protection, however if you do so it may not be the most cost effective way in protecting your skin.

I used it for my lower back close to the tailbone area. I'm sure you can use it for the tailbone area also.

You can, but I advised using it on the outer part. The strong odor of it even after it dries, can be overwhelming.

It can be used on any part of the body you can effectively reach. I also use it on my lower back and shoulders, etc. The main part of the body are the legs.

I have a bad left hip joint so I only use the left leg to keep the weight off hip joint when walking. It does the job . I also use a elbow crutch the same way. Seems to work just as well.

I am not a specialist but do know anatomy and physiology. I use it for release of tight muscles. Hip and sciatica represent a mechanical problem. I would youtube using one of these or ask a physical therapist for specific target areas for your condition. I love it but you have to know what you are doing.

I don't know. I only use it on my legs and underarms. It works great in those areas.

because i've never had a problem with my hips aching, i couldn't say if this this product would help you in that area. i purchased this product for lower back/lumbar support and it does help me in that area.

I don't see why not. It is used on upper shoulders, back, knees, elbows. I didn't know if it would work for me, but it has, For the money it's well worth a shot.

It works best for knees, ankles, feet, wrists and elbows where you can wrap it around the joint. However I used it when I had my hip replacement; just had to sit or lie down and lay it over the part that hurts. It's much better than trying to use regular ice or a bag of peas.

Not at all. This is only a support for the groin area and actually puts some strain on the hip when in use.
