Baker's Cysts is also commonly referred to as a Popliteal Cyst and usually develops as the result of an underlying knee injury or condition. This happens when the swelling and inflammation starts to protrude out the back of the knee. Common causes of a Baker's Cyst is from a Meniscus Injury. This could be from a sudden impact or just natural strain over years of being physically active. You may feel like you have pain when you fully extend the knee or when you are walking around. The pain could even extend down your calf if the swelling and inflammation is quite severe. You also might experience symptoms of clicking, popping or in more severe cases, locking of the knee joint.
Your situation is not hopeless. You can get rid of your Baker's Cyst. You just need to heal the underlying issue in your knee first. In order to heal your knee injury or condition as quickly and completely as possible, you need additional blood flow. Unfortunately, an injured knee at rest has very limited blood flow. You need a treatment that will bring lots of healthy blood flow to your injured knee. You need Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®).
BFST® Wraps are designed to actively heal soft tissue injuries by promoting blood flow deep beneath the skin. This increase in blood flow works to create an ideal environment for healing. While physical activity is one way to promote blood flow, this can cause further damage to your knee. BFST® stimulates nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood flow while your knee is at rest. This allows you to rest and avoid re-injury while healing your knee at the same time. You won't find this technology anywhere else.
To minimize pain and swelling, complete a ColdCure® treatment any time your pain level increases, or if you have been active. The ColdCure® Leg Wrap provides superior relief of the swelling and pain that comes with a Baker's Cyst. ColdCure® Leg Wraps use cold and compression together, because cold and compression are the two things you need to eliminate pain and swelling as quickly and effectively as possible. The application of cold compression must be uniform and complete if it's going to work the best, and this is why the ColdCure® Leg Wrap has been custom designed to perfectly fit your leg, and be versatile enough to target where ever you are feeling the pain.
The ColdCure® Leg Wrap is designed as a one-size-fits-all wrap. The ColdCure® Leg Wrap will wrap around your knee to a maximum circumference of 26 inches. For treatment areas that are larger than 26 inches, please include our Accessory Straps to extend the wrap by 11 inches.
With a Baker's Cyst the feeling of instability when putting pressure on your knee is quite common. This instability often leads to frequent re-injury. You can't stop and wait for your Baker's Cyst to go away, so lets provide some support to your knee, without taking away your range of motion. KB Support Tape™ is designed to protect your tendons, ligaments and muscles and to help prevent further damage as you go through your day. It does all of this without restricting your range of motion.
Professional athletes always tape their injuries. You see it all the time. They know the benefits and they do what they need to, to heal as quickly as possible. KB Support Tape™ provides safe, high grade, optimal armor for your injury. It is made from the highest quality, hospital grade, biocompatible materials which most sports tapes are not. KB Tape is 100% KB Quality.

Baker's Cyst can be so painful and debilitating that it causes us to rely heavily on pain killers. But honestly, pain killers are not your friend. It is understandable that you are looking for the relief from pain. Remember, though, the pain is there to stop us from hurting the area further. The pain is your body saying please stop doing that! While pain killers are a welcome relief, they can be dangerous to take when you're active. Pain killers can completely block the pain signal, making you unaware of any further damage you could be doing to your knee. Pain killers should be restricted to times of rest.
When it comes to pain killers, some products are much more effective than others. Some can actually help your injury when used correctly and others will only make it worse. According to the National Institute of Health, our own government body tells us that Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits. And acetaminophen (Tylenol) won't help you get better one bit. It only puts you at risk of more injury. If you want help choosing the right pain killer and want advice on how to use it more safely and correctly, give us a call at 1-844-672-9440. We will give you excellent guidance. No charge. No purchase necessary.
To maximize healing and minimize pain and swelling, complete a BFST® treatment right before bed. We can give you advice on medication you can take to reduce the pain and help you heal while you sleep. The BFST® treatment will work towards healing while you sleep, and the medication will work to relieve the pain and inflammation so that you can experience restful sleep. During the day, ColdCure® treatments are the best choice to continue to reduce inflammation while you are active. Our medical grade injury tape, KB Support Tape, is excellent for reducing reinjury and pain when you need to be active as well. If you're in pain, give us a call now for free advice 1-844-672-9440.
Cortisone injections are often used to address the symptoms of a Baker's Cyst. Cortisone is a great medication to reduce inflammation, but unfortunately it does nothing to heal your underlying condition and can put you at a very high risk of further injury. When a cortisone shot is injected into the knee to help calm some of the symptoms associated with Baker's Cyst, relief can be felt for up to 6 weeks, but sometimes the injection does not work at all.
Surgery and Aspiration are quite commonly recommended, but not always needed. When surgery is completed for treatment of a Baker's Cyst the patient will have extensive recovery times including physical therapy in order to return back to their normal daily lives. Recovery from surgery can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. When the cyst is aspirated, this is not often a long term solution. In most cases the cyst will continue to refill with fluid.
Use a ColdCure® Leg Wrap from King Brand® and avoid the dangers of painkillers, surgery, aspiration and risky cortisone injections. As soon as you put the ColdCure® Wrap on, you will feel the cool, soothing relief. The ColdCure® Leg Wrap is specifically designed for relieving the pain and swelling of a Baker's Cyst. It's incredibly comfortable and provides protection and support for the back of your knee.
If you want to get rid of your Baker's Cyst for good, you need to heal your underlying knee injury or condition. Fortunately, you can treat both the symptoms and the cause of your Baker's Cyst with King Brand® products. Relieve the pain and swelling of your Baker's Cyst with a ColdCure® Leg Wrap. Heal the underlying problem with a BFST® Knee Wrap.
Do this and your underlying knee condition or injury can truly heal and your Baker's Cyst can go away - finally.
If you want your Baker's Cyst to heal as quickly as possible, use our ColdCure® and BFST® wraps. ColdCure® treatments should be done any time you're overly active, or if you feel like you're developing inflammation. If you're developing inflammation you are most likely going to feel an increase in pain. Use ColdCure® Wraps for pain management. Leg Wrap is ideal as it covers the entire back of the knee perfectly.
During less active times of the day, start your BFST® treatment. The most common cause of a Baker's Cyst is a Meniscus Tear. Your treatments are simple and easy: plug it in, turn it on and rest. Each treatment is only 20 minutes and the effects will last up to 4 hours, so even when your treatment is over, your injury is still receiving the benefits long afterwards. The BFST® Knee Wrap will promote blood flow to your damaged tissue, accelerating the healing process. First thing in the morning and right before you go to bed are your two most important treatments. This will ensure that you get a great start to your morning and will help you rest well at night. Throughout the rest of the day, fitting one or two more treatments into your schedule will give you optimal blood flow all day long.
Protect your Baker's Cyst with extra support and protection by wearing KB Support Tape™. Apply KB Support Tape to the front and/or the back of your knee to protect your knee between ColdCure® and BFST® treatments. It's made of soft, flexible material that doesn't limit your movement, so you can wear it during all of your daily activities.

The very first step in recovery is to start with the ColdCure® Leg Wrap. Use the Leg ColdCure® Wrap as much as possible to reduce the swelling and inflammation quickly. The ColdCure® Leg Wrap uses a compression wrap and gel packs to eliminate pain and swelling quickly and effectively. The pain that you're feeling is because you're experiencing the added pressure behind the knee caused from swelling and inflammation. This will most often cause pain and the inability to bend your knee without feeling pressure or pain. Reducing your swelling and inflammation behind your knee is the first step towards getting rid of your Baker's Cyst for good.
ColdCure® Wraps were designed as a safe alternative to ordinary ice packs. While ordinary ice packs can freeze your skin and cause cold burns, when our gel packs are stored in the freezer, they pose no threat of freezing the skin. This means longer treatment times and less time spent swapping the gel packs in and out. It also means faster relief of pain and swelling. When you apply the ColdCure® Wrap to the back of your knee, you will feel an immediate cooling sensation that will make the pain fade away. It will also do an incredible job of bringing down the uncomfortable swelling of your Baker's Cyst.
The ColdCure® Leg Wrap and gel packs are the perfect size and shape for the back of your knee. Baker's Cysts can be difficult to target because of their location, but the ColdCure® Leg Wrap covers the entire affected area. The treatment area is 7 inchess tall by 10 inches wide. The entire length of the wrap is 26 inches. This ensures that there is an even distribution of cooling power over your Baker's Cyst. There are 3 swappable gel packs included with the ColdCure® Leg Wrap. They're soft and flexible, yet the gel inside always stays in place. The gel won't move away from your Baker's Cyst, even under heavy pressure for hours on end. Keep 2 gel packs charging in the freezer while you use 1 in your wrap. This will keep your therapy going for as long as you need.
ColdCure® Wraps are FDA Registered Class I medical devices. They exceed all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries. When applied, these medical grade cold compression wraps will immediately reduce the risk of further damage from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long term, permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries.
Most people think that RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - is the formula to follow when treating a soft tissue injury. Most of these people aren't aware of the very serious dangers that ice pose. Ice (and other freezer-based substitutes such as the blue ice pack) can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing "cold burns" and even permanent damage to your underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice, we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.
The ColdCure® Leg Wrap comes with 3 large gel packs that contain 3x more gel per lb than ordinary packs. This means more coverage of your Baker's Cyst. Despite their size, our gel packs are never bulky. When stored in the freezer, XC Gel® packs have 10x more cooling power per lb than ordinary gel packs. This means they stay cold longer, allowing for extended treatment durations. It also means faster relief of pain and swelling.
ColdCure® gel packs are custom designed for the shape of the area you're treating. Every body part is shaped differently, which is why all of our gel packs are shaped differently too. Every one of our ColdCure® Wraps comes with gel packs that are specifically designed for the body part. The ColdCure® Leg gel pack molds to the back of your knee comfortably to ensure that your painful Baker's Cyst receives an even distribution of cooling power. This product has 100% been designed to treat Baker's Cysts.
Ordinary gel packs are notorious for having hot and cold spots. Our XC RigiGel® packs distribute the cold energy evenly throughout the pack. When cold pressure is applied to a Baker's Cyst, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. The cold energy in our gel packs is transferred from the cold spots to the warm spots much more effectively. This is a valuable improvement as your hot, swollen Baker's Cyst will receive the cooling power of the entire gel pack, every time. The temperature-balancing power of these gel packs is unmatched.
XC Gel® packs have 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. Both sides will give you all the same benefits that our high performance XC RigiGel® has to offer. XC Gel® packs can be inserted inside the wrap with the white side facing towards the back of your knee or away from the back of your knee since they're not side specific.
BFST® is exactly what you need to heal the underlying knee injury or condition that caused your Baker's Cyst to develop. By healing your knee, your Baker's Cyst will go away as a result, with a decreased chance of it coming back.
Blood flow is the most critical element in rapid recovery, which is why BFST® treatments are so important. We recommend doing 3-4 BFST® treatments per day. It's best to spread your treatments out over the course of your day as the effects of each treatment last for up to 4 hours. The ideal treatment regimen would be a treatment first thing in the morning, one in the afternoon, another treatment in the evening, and the last treatment of the day right before bed. BFST® treatments are very pleasant and relaxing. You may experience a slight warming sensation and/or a tingling sensation as a result of the increase in blood flow.
Almost as important as blood flow is the reminder of your injury. Having a reminder of your injury throughout the recovery process helps you move with care so as not to re-injure the area. Without a reminder, we often feel a false sense of ability that can lead to further damage. Avoiding re-injury is fundamental to rapid recovery. Between treatments, unplug your BFST® device and keep wearing the wrap as a reminder of your injury. The Knee Wrap will also provide light support and protection for your injured knee. This will lower the risk of re-injury and greatly contribute to a faster healing time.
BFST® Wraps are FDA Registered Class II medical devices. They're made with medical grade materials and comply with several different standards and regulations. This includes ensuring safe, effective treatments. BFST® Wraps are not the same as the consumer grade products found at the store. Medical devices are held to much higher standards. Even though they're better quality than consumer goods, BFST® devices are still available to the public to buy and use at home.
The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® Wrap is designed to promote blood flow in injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our proprietary Energy Web®, specially controlled and incredibly safe, low levels of EMR energy envelop your entire knee and stimulate blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting stimulation brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area, accelerating the healing process.
BFST® Wraps have 3 different power settings, which you will move through gradually as your knee heals. Everyone should start their treatments on Level 1. Proceeding immediately to Level 2 or 3 will not speed up your healing time. You need to condition the body first.
During your first few treatments on Level 1, your knee area may feel quite warm. This is because your circulation is poor at first. The more you use the device, the less warming sensation you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that the circulation in your knee is improving. Better circulation means better blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel very little warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though, more heat does not mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.
BFST® Wraps are the heating pads of the future. Instead of bringing blood flow to the surface of your skin and making it hot to the touch like a heating pad does, BFST® promotes blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath your skin. Bringing blood to the surface does nothing to heal the injury deep below. By stimulating additional blood flow in the area of injury, this works to help the tissue heal. Heating pads can't do this, but BFST® can.
The Energy Web® and soft, comfortable neoprene wrap of the BFST® Knee device are specially designed to conform to the shape of your knee. This ensures an even distribution of energy over the entire injured area. There are long, wide Velcro® straps attached to the wrap that allow you to adjust it and achieve the perfect fit. You don't need to remove the wrap after treatment. Unplug the device and tighten the straps to use it as a light support brace for your knee. It also acts as a reminder of your injury so you don't accidentally overdo it and re-injure yourself. Your BFST® Knee Wrap is designed as a one size fits all style wrap. The maximum size of knee the BFST® will fit is 26 inches in circumference.
Nothing slows you down more than pain and injury. So, whether you're trying to stay active or just trying to make it through the day, KB Support Tape™ is there to help you achieve all of your goals.
Everyone needs a little help sometimes. Your skin can stretch much more than the tissues underneath it, which leaves you vulnerable to a wide variety of injuries, including a Baker's Cyst. Applying KB Support Tape™ makes your skin a source of outside support without restricting your rance of motion and actively preventing re-injury as you focus on the important things.
KB Support Tape comes in 2 different styles: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll. These styles also come in 3 different colors: Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.
The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape are fast, easy and convenient. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can just apply and go! Every roll of Pre-Cut KB Support Tape contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.
The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape are perfect if you're looking for a more customizable tape. You can cut the Tape into a variety of different shapes and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your injury. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.
The image on the right is an example of how you would use KB Support Tape™ for 'full knee support'. Because Baker's Cysts can be caused by many ailments or conditions, using this application for the front of the knee, covers many different injuries by helping balance the muscles surrounding your knee as well as relieving pressure on the kneecap and it's supporting tendon. Using KB Support Tape™ to cover where your pain is without restricting blood flow, as well as keeping your knee mobile will help speed up your recovery time.
The image on the left is an example of how you can tape the back of your knee in order to support your Baker's Cyst. By taping the back of your knee will help reduce the pain caused by the cyst and help prevent any strain due to over-compensation while you walk. For maximum benefit, taping both behind your knee to support your Baker's Cyst and applying the tape to the front of your knee will help keep you moving towards the road to recovery as pain free as possible.
The Accessory Strap can provide a more customized fit for the BFST® and ColdCure® Wraps. Out of the box, the BFST Knee and ColdCure Leg wraps are designed to fit comfortably around body parts up to 26 inches. If you need it to be larger, the accessory strap provides up to 11+ inches of extension so you can use as much or as little extension as you need.
We all come in different shapes and sizes and this strap will allow you to increase the size of your Wrap to achieve the best possible fit and treatment. Just attach one end of the Accessory Strap to the side of the wrap that has the Velcro patch, and wrap it around until it meets the BFST® or ColdCure® Wrap on the other side. Adjust to your desired fit.
This Rechargeable Battery Pack is designed to make your BFST® Wrap completely mobile. It attaches anywhere on your wrap by using the Velcro patch included, and lasts 10-20 treatments, depending on what level you're on. This means you can do your treatments wherever you go! You can do treatments in the car, at work, or while you're doing chores around the house, all without being plugged in. Use it wherever the day takes you.
The Battery Pack is easily charged using your BFST® power supply. The indicator lights on the Battery let you know when it needs to be charged again. It takes approximately 4 hours to achieve a full charge when the Battery is at 0%.
The Battery Pack makes it so much simpler to get in your 3-4 BFST® treatments per day, because you don't have to wait around while you're plugged into an outlet anymore.
*The Rechargeable Battery Pack is specifically designed to work with your BFST® Knee Wrap. Your BFST® Wrap comes with the components you need for treatments and to charge the Battery. For further information on whether a Battery Pack is suitable for your treatment schedule, please contact our Treatment Advisors by email or phone.

Combination Therapy means combining ColdCure® and BFST® by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape between treatments. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just one product or the other. This is because you're getting the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, as well as the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape. This results in the absolute best treatment for your Baker's Cyst and underlying knee condition or injury.
A very important part of treating your Baker's Cyst is to use the ColdCure® Leg Wrap to help reduce not only the visible swelling you may see on the surface, but also the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue. You can use it several times a day. Use it anytime you want pain relief and after any significant exercise of your knee even if it doesn't hurt afterward.
You should rely more heavily on ColdCure® treatments immediately after exercise because the inflammation will continue to re-develop when you are active. Being aggressive with back to back cold treatments after exercise will give your body a chance to get ahead of the inflammation, and prepare your knee for the blood flow that's needed to help heal quickly.
Introduce your BFST® treatments at your less active times of day and before significant exercise. Keep your swelling and inflammation under control with ColdCure® but do not use ColdCure® and BFST® close together. Use BFST® in the morning, before bed, and after longer periods of resting your injury. When doing your treatments, you should only feel a slight warming sensation. At any time if it feels HOT or uncomfortable, discontinue use as you still have too much inflammation and swelling to complete a treatment.
Each BFST® Treatment will last only 20 minutes, but the increase in blood flow will last up to four hours. Ideally your treatments should be spaced out throughout the day, so you can promote good blood flow all day long. If you can't do 3-4 treatments a day, your two most important treatments are first thing in the morning, and right before you go to bed. This will ensure that you have a great start to your day and you can rest well at night.
If you are planning on being active throughout the day, complete a BFST® treatment before any type of physical activity. It can be as simple as going for a walk. Always assess how you are feeling after your activity, as there's a chance you may need to apply your ColdCure® to treat any new inflammation generated during your activities.
The goal with your BFST® Treatments is not to increase on the levels as quickly as possible, but to condition your circulatory system to allow for the much needed increased blood flow. Staying on the lowest level to where you feel any warmth - remember it's just a slight warmth - will be the most effective way to start healing your Baker's Cyst. When can you move up to the next level? You can move up in levels when you feel barely any warmth from the wrap at all. This means that you've successfully conditioned your circulation and you're ready to move up. Some people can move up in a few weeks, some people it takes a lot longer. It just depends on how well your body adjusts to the increase in blood flow.
Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. Remember, staying on top of your inflammation will allow you to complete more BFST® treatments throughout the day.
Wait 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment before doing another BFST® treatment. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment, unless you notice an increase in pain during your BFST® Treatment.
ColdCure® treatments will slow down the blood flow, which isn't ideal, but sometimes necessary to relieve the swelling and inflammation generated. The BFST® will increase your blood flow which is important for faster healing.
KB Support Tape™ is very important to help with your injury recovery. As you move throughout the day, your skin and your tendons move with you. Using the KB Support Tape™ over your injury will make your skin less flexible - therefore protecting your injury - without restricting your range of motion. KB Support Tape™ can be used at the same time as your BFST® and ColdCure® Treatments without any issues, but try to have your first BFST® treatment of the day without the KB Support Tape™ applied. After your BFST® treatment has been completed, then apply the tape. Removing the tape before the last BFST® treatment of the day will provide the best results.
Even once the pain is gone, your Baker's Cyst may only be 20% or 30% healed. The healing process takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story.) If you want your Baker's Cyst to heal completely, you need to continue doing BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone. Do a BFST® treatment before you do any physical activity. This will act as a warm up for your circulatory system. You should also continue taping your Knee to help prevent re-injury.

The King Brand® products shown are FDA Registered medical devices. That is not all. They have also been registered with Health Canada which means they've received as much review.
FDA and Health Canada Registration does not mean that we fill out a form to become Registered. Our claims are quite significant, and because of these claims the government agencies visit for week-long inspections to ensure that the end user is always receiving the safest effective medical devices we can offer. With two different countries of regulators this means our products had twice the oversight, ensuring exceptional quality and performance.
It is not required but we are also ISO-13485 compliant. This enforces standards are established by the International Standards Organization for global manufacturers of medical devices.
It is not required by any regulator, but we use only the safest materials in our products. ISO-10993 regulation ensures that our products are made from higher quality materials than most baby products, including diapers. This is the highest bio-compatibility safety standard in the world. This is the highest hospital grade - think Intensive Care and Operating Rooms. Our materials go through ISO-10993 testing to ensure they are safe for you. No consumer products are produced to this high standard.
King Brand products are, in fact, hospital grade through and through. ISO-60601 is the International Standard for Medical Device safety from an electrical standpoint. In spite of the BFST® being an electrical device, BFST® can be used in hospital emergency rooms and operating rooms without affecting other equipment. You can use any medical device with a BFST® and neither device will know the other one is there. This is a very tough standard to meet, but we do it and you benefit.
King Brand products meet over 20 different safety and quality standards that are not required even for medical devices and FDA registration. If we think there is anything that can be done to make our products safer and more effective, we have done it. That is the approach to everything we do and that is why our company and products are so highly regarded.
