PRODUCT BENEFITS
PLEASE NOTE! Most therapists and doctors advise not to use heat right after an injury, as this will have the opposite effect of ice. Heat increases blood flow and relaxes muscles. It's good for easing tight muscles, but will only increase the pain and swelling of an injury. Heat therapy should not be used on people who have circulatory problems, who are unconscious, or who cannot feel or respond to heat (e.g. in paralysis). Take care not to burn or damage the skin. Use extra caution if you are diabetic. Place a soft towel or cloth between the heating pack and the skin. Take care when using a heat pack if you are taking medicines that make you sleepy or if the area being treated is numb. At first, limit the heat therapy to ten or fifteen minutes at a time. Try ten minutes every one to two hours. Wait at least twenty-four hours before applying heat to skin that has been bruised, cut or used for an injection or subjected to any "invasive" procedure. (NOTE: Heat can increase bleeding.) Important: If the area is inflamed or sore from overuse, use cold therapy, NOT heat therapy!
