Sore calf muscle relief provided by Thermophore will give you the soothing power of warm, moist heat. This method of treatment has been proven to be effective and cheaper then other aids.
A sore calf muscle may be caused by trauma or continual strain. The body responds to such pain with muscle guarding, an attempt to immobilize the painful site by tightening the muscles. Muscle guarding impairs 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 sore calf muscle cycle and aid in the normal healing process.
