What are the benefits of heat therapy for back pain?
There are many forms of back pain, with lower back pain being the most common one. The Deep Heat range includes a heat spray, penetrating heat creams, and a range of heat patches, to help you to manage back pain effectively.
Heat increases blood flow to the affected area providing oxygen and nutrients to aid the healing process and help restore movement. Heat should be applied to the affected area where pain is felt to provide effective, targeted relief. Heat also helps to speed up injury rehab by applying a heat product after having performed cold therapy for approximately 72 hours post injury. Heat can also aid muscle warm-up when applied before exercise.
