COOL DOWN AND RESET
DRUG-FREE, REUSABLE COOLING
The Hidden Threat of Repetitive Head Impacts
Even without a diagnosed concussion, repeated blows to the head can cause microscopic damage that adds up over time. These repetitive head impacts (RHIs) are now linked to long-term changes in brain health, from memory loss and mood swings to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and NMD.
Even the hits you don't feel can leave an impact.
CoolHed takes recovery beyond rest.
Using Selective Brain Cooling (SBC) and autonomic regulation, our protocol supports the body’s ability to restore balance where it matters most, the brain.
CoolHed is designed for:
- Lowering brain temperature to stabilise neurons and reduce inflammation
- Activating the vagus nerve to calm the nervous system
- Supporting blood flow and oxygenation for faster mental recovery
The result? A calmer, clearer mind and a system that resets on a physiological level.
The Long Term Effects
What begins in the ring, field, or pitch can follow you for life.
The signs may not show up for years, but the damage continues beneath the surface.
- Memory decline
- Emotional instability
- Depression and impulsivity
- Cognitive impairment
How CoolHed works
Three simple steps. A few minutes. That is the whole protocol.
Keep CoolHed frozen and ready in your bag or at home.
Cool down post-session and let your body reset.
Slow it down, recover, and get ready for the next one.

The science behind the cooling
Cooling, recovery and the nervous system are active areas of sports science. Below is a selection of independent, published research on head and neck cooling, thermoregulation and breathing for recovery and performance. Together they help explain why a simple, repeatable cooling routine can earn a place in how athletes wind down between efforts and after training.
These studies look at cooling, recovery and breathing in general and do not assess CoolHed specifically. They are shared for general information only. CoolHed is a Class I medical device (TGA registered, ARTG 481270). The research shown here and any related product claims are still being finalised with CoolHed and are subject to review before publication.
