Q We are often asked how Bexters Soda Crystals actually work?
A The crystals are naturally 'hygroscopic' - which means they absorb moisture.
Applying the crystals in our purpose-designed wrap over a swollen knee, ankle or wrist has been shown to draw out the excess fluid that accumulates to protect the injured area, and so help quicken the healing process.
In Australia, home of Bexters, the crystals have been used for over 50 years as a treatment of choice by athletes, physiotherapists, complementary therapists and others to relieve symptoms and accelerate recovery.
Alicia Rayner, musculoskeletal physiotherapist at Melbourne University Rugby Union Football Club gives her assessment: "Bexters are the fastest, easiest and least painful way of getting rid of swelling. We use the crystals after games to reduce swelling, especially in the thighs from corks!"
(A corked thigh is a common sports injury caused by a direct blow or tackle, leading to muscle bruising, pain and restricted movement - not brilliant for a rugby player!)
