Anyone looking to add palm cooling to their recovery repertoire should look no further than Apex Cool Labs
I have been fascinated by palm cooling since I first read about the modality in one of my undergraduate classes. Although the results from the original Stanford research were impressive, the cumbersome nature of their device made it difficult to imagine how it could work in a team sport setting. I was confident that temperature regulation was contributing to some of the cramping issues we were seeing in hockey, but a user-friendly product had yet to hit the market. Ariel and Evy first reached out to me in 2023 about the Narwhals, and I’ve been using them ever since. The fact that they are very easy to set up and maintain the appropriate temperature for over 2 hours makes them the perfect option for a hockey game, and they truly do make a difference. To me, they are a no-brainer as a recovery tool for any team sport that is intermittent in nature, and they can also significantly enhance performance in the gym. Apex Cool Labs has developed a superb product and provides excellent customer service.

The first game I used it, going into the second and third period, I noticed a difference
I just felt a little clearer mentally, then physically felt a little bit less heavy or fatigued as the game went on.
