    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.
