About
Moist Heat
For
centuries, people have known that heat can relieve pain.
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 pain
Medical
professionals explain that heat causes dilation of the blood
vessels in the area being treated. This increase in blood
flow brings fresh blood to the area and takes waste away from
it. The result is that heat eases pain and speeds healing.
About
the Thermophore ® Automatic Moist Heat Pack ™
Electric
hot packs are one of the most popular sources of therapeutic
heat in the home. They come in various sizes to fit the
body part in need of treatment, and they are clean, inexpensive,
and simple to use. In addition to these standard features,
the Thermophore Hot Pack provides two unique benefits: moist
heat and safely.
Moist
heat treatments are more effective than dry heat treatments.
This is because moisture transmits heat better than air.
The outer flannel cover of the Thermophore Hot Pack draws
humidity from the air and retains it. Once the heat is turned
on, the moisture is forced out of the flannel and onto the
treated area.
The
"on" switch makes the Thermophore Hot Pack safe.
The switch allows you complete control of the temperature;
and should you fall asleep, your grip on the switch relaxes
and the heat automatically turns off.
