What Is Moist Heat Therapy?
Moist heat therapy uses water vapor to conduct heat deeper into muscles and tissues than dry heat (like a standard heating pad or heat wrap). It’s commonly recommended by physical therapists and pain specialists for more effective, longer-lasting relief.
Benefits of Moist Heat Therapy:
-
Penetrates deeper than dry heat
-
Increases blood flow to promote healing
-
Relaxes stiff joints and muscle spasms
-
Eases chronic pain from arthritis, fibromyalgia, or injury
-
Reactivates natural lubrication in joints and connective tissues
When to Use Moist Heat Therapy
-
After the first 48–72 hours of an injury (once swelling is down)
-
For chronic conditions like arthritis, back pain, or sciatica
-
To relieve muscle tension, soreness, or spasms
-
Before stretching or exercising tight muscles
-
During recovery from sports injuries or overuse
⚠️ Avoid using heat on fresh injuries, swelling, or open wounds—use cold therapy first, then switch to heat once inflammation has decreased. Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider for proper guidance when treating injuries.
Why Does the Thermophore Have a 25-Minute Timer?
The 25-minute auto shut-off is a safety feature designed to:
-
Prevent overheating or burns from extended use
-
Avoid falling asleep with the pad on (a common misuse risk)
-
Follow clinically recommended therapy intervals (15–30 minutes)
Thermophore pads reach higher temperatures than generic brands, so limiting exposure to 25 minutes at a time provides safe, effective relief without risk of skin damage or overheating.
