Moist Heat Therapy

Moist heat therapy uses a wet source to transfer heat to your tissues to achieve pain relief. Moist heat has been shown to achieve quicker and deeper penetration of body tissue, causing a more powerful response from the body's temperature receptors. It is effective when treating arthritic pain. Moist heat is also effective in treating pain and secondary muscle spasms that some patients experience from chronic arthritis. Moist heat is also effective for the treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) which is frequently experienced after exercise.
