A Story of Triumph Over Adversity
"In 2006, Olympic Champion Lydia Lassila founded BodyICE with a strong mission: TO HELP PEOPLE OF ALL AGES RECOVER FROM THEIR INJURIES AND FIGHT PAIN AND INFLAMMATION NATURALLY USING SIMPLE ICE AND COMPRESSION"
BodyICE was created by Olympic Champion Lydia Lassila after she suffered a severe knee injury at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. During her rehab and recovery, Lydia grew frustrated with existing cold therapy products, which often leaked, slipped, and failed to provide adequate cooling. This experience inspired her to develop a more effective solution for injury recovery.
Lydia set out to create her own line of ice packs that are travel-friendly, offer compression, and can be used on any joint or body area. She meticulously designed each element, combining the classic ice bag with high-quality elastic neoprene compression straps. These straps are carefully tailored to provide a snug fit for specific joints and body areas, ensuring maximum effectiveness and mobility. No detail was overlooked in developing a product that delivers both convenience and targeted relief.
A no-fuss ice and compression system that delivers effective and reliable relief. Designed to comfortably secure around injured joints and body parts, it offers a targeted approach to managing pain and inflammation. The versatile ice bags can also be filled with hot tap water, providing soothing heat therapy for tight muscles and ongoing recovery needs. By combining ease of use, high-quality materials, and a thoughtful design, BodyICE redefines the way we approach injury recovery and daily self-care.
BodyICE has played an integral part in Lydia’s recovery and management of all kinds of injury, helping her reach the pinnacle of her sport. Undeterred from the injury and trauma to her knee in 2006, Lydia bounced back and won Gold in the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Four years later, after becoming a mother, Lydia defended her title at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics winning Bronze and becoming the first woman ever to compete a quad-twisting triple somersault, cementing her in the history books as one of the aerial skiing’s greats.

Away from the sporting arena, Lydia is a mother of two boys. It was her journey into motherhood that inspired BodyICE Woman – a range of stylishly designed remedial ice and heat packs just for women offering calming relief to the perineum after childbirth and breasts throughout the breastfeeding journey. BodyICE Kids was again borne out of necessity. With very few effective and attractive options on the market, Lydia designed her own family of gorgeous gel bead ice and heat packs to soothe knocks and bruises or comfort the little ones in our lives with warmth.
