How to use Instant Hot Packs
Steps:
1. Locate the water sachet inside the pack and firmly squeeze it to release the liquid, allowing it to mix with the chemical reactant.
2. Shake the hot pack for a few seconds to fully activate it; the pack will begin to warm almost immediately.
3. Place a towel or under-wrap between the hot pack and your skin to prevent ice burn while also providing gentle compression.
4. Secure the hot pack to the injured area using a cohesive bandage or elasticated holster, which also offers added compression.
5. Repeat the process every 2-3 hours during the first 24 hours following an injury for optimal results.
When To Use Hot Therapy
Muscle Relaxation and Chronic Pain
Heat therapy is effective for relaxing muscles and alleviating chronic pain conditions. Applying heat increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to the affected area, which promotes muscle relaxation and reduces stiffness. This makes heat therapy a valuable tool for managing conditions like chronic back pain or muscle tension.
Pre-Exercise Warm-up
Using heat therapy before physical activity can enhance flexibility and performance. Pre-exercise heat application is shown to positively influence muscle function and range of motion, preparing the body for more strenuous activity.
Joint Stiffness
Heat therapy is particularly beneficial for managing joint stiffness, especially in conditions such as osteoarthritis. By increasing blood circulation and relaxing the surrounding muscles, heat improves joint flexibility and reduces the discomfort associated with stiffness.
