Moist Heat Treatments
Is Moist Heat treatment right for you?
Moist heat therapy uses warm, damp heat packs to relax muscles, increase blood flow, and reduce stiffness. It is generally safe, though care is needed with people who have poor circulation, neuropathy, or skin sensitivity.
What is Moist Heat treatment?
A moist heat pack is wrapped in towels and applied to the affected area for 15–20 minutes while you rest comfortably. You’ll feel a deep, soothing warmth. It’s often used before other treatments to prepare tissues for manual therapy or exercise.
What conditions does Moist Heat treatment address?
Moist heat helps with:
- Muscle tension and spasms (e.g., low back pain, shoulder stiffness)
- Chronic joint pain or stiffness (e.g., arthritis, frozen shoulder)
- Prepping tight tissues for manual therapy in TMJ, neck, or hip conditions
It’s an effective way to relax muscles and reduce pain naturally.
