Hydrocollator Packs

Heat Therapy with Hydrocollator Packs

Heat therapy, also called thermo-therapy, is the application of moist hot packs to the body for pain relief and health. Other forms of heat like hot cloths, hot water, heating pads and therapy wraps can also be used. This therapeutic heat treatment can be beneficial to patients with chronic arthritis, stiff muscles and deep tissue injuries. Hydrocollator Packs are also great for daily muscle aches and pains.

Rehabilitation

Most commonly used for treatment and rehabilitation purposes, Hydrocollator Packs and other heat therapy products have been used to treat a number of aliments. The therapeutic effects of heat include increasing the extensibility of collagen tissues, decreasing joint stiffness, reducing pain, relieving muscle spasms and increasing local blood circulation. Once Hydrocollator Packs have been applied to areas needing relief, the heat begins to increase blood flow to the affected area and help expedite the healing process. Hydrocollator Packs can also aid the relief of pain caused by hypermobility. For these patients, it is recommended that a combination of heat and physical therapy be administered.

Healing

For thousands of years, heat has been used as therapeutic relief for a multitude of aches and pains. It's been proven that moist hot packs are more effective than regular heating pads, because water transfers heat more quickly. Moist heat also results in the perception that tissue is heated more deeply. This deeper application of heat therapy increases the healing effects on muscles, joints and soft tissue.

Most health care professionals, like massage therapist, athletic trainers and chiropractors, know that heat therapy creates a relaxing effect on the body. Heat can also be used in the treatment of headaches and migraines. The application of moist hot packs on the forehead can reduce tension associated with headache pain.
