About Heat Therapy

Why Heat Therapy?

Heat therapy is often overlooked in the desperate search for pain relief, but research proves this simple, natural method can alleviate pain better than many of the more complex, invasive strategies. Heat therapy enhances your body's inherent healing power by stimulating circulation to remove toxins and increase the supply of rich, oxygenated nutrients available to damaged tissues. It is effective at treating chronic muscle pain or sore joints caused by Arthritis.
