Muscle pain relief can be yours by using Thermophore moist heating pads! For centuries, people have known that heat can relieve stiffness. We soak in hot tubs or apply electric heating pads because we know instinctively that heat will help us feel better
What exactly does heat do? * Heat improves circulation * Heat improves cell function (metabolism) * Heat decreases stiffness in tendons and ligaments * Heat relaxes the muscles and decreases muscle spasm * Heat lessens aches Muscle pain may be caused by trauma or continual strain. The body's response causes impaired circulation in the affected area. The decrease in blood supply leads to a decrease in metabolism with an accumulation of waste products. TENS (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulator) and moist heat modalities can help break this cycle and aid in the normal healing process.
