ThermophoreŽ Heat Pads
Doctors recommend moist heat therapy to treat a variety of medical conditions including arthritis, muscle tension, stiffness and even migraine headaches. The ThermophoreŽ Automatic Moist Heating Pad unit was developed to conveniently provide moist fomentation treatments whenever moist heat is indicated.
Moist heat increases circulation and speeds recovery by bringing in fresh blood cells Moist heat is more effective than dry heat because moisture transmits heat better than air. The ThermophoreŽ Hot Pack has an outer flannel cover that draws humidity from the air and retains it. Then when the heat is turned on, the moisture is forced out of the flannel and onto the treated area.
ThermophoreŽ Relieves pain caused by muscle spasms.
No water needed - ThermophoreŽ produces its own moisture
