Sports injuries are best treated using the Thermophore moist heat treatments! They are more effective than dry heat treatments because moisture transmits heat better than air! Thermophore is fast, effective and safe!
Therapeutic heat can help people recover from sports injuries because: * Heat lessens pain * Heat decreases stiffness in tendons and ligaments * Heat relaxes the muscles * Heat improves circulation * Heat improves cell function (metabolism) Medical professionals explain that heat causes dilation of the blood vessels in the area being treated. The resulting increase in blood flow brings fresh oxygen to the area and takes away waste. Thus heat eases pain and speeds healing caused by sports injuries.
