About this treatment
Hot Compress Therapy applies warm compresses to stiff or aching areas. Heat relaxes tight muscles, brings blood flow to the area and helps joints move more comfortably.
It is useful for long-standing back pain, stiff joints, muscle tightness and the aches that often feel worse in cold weather. It can be taken on its own or before massage so the muscles respond better.
Hot compress is not suitable for fresh injuries with swelling. For those, a cold compress is usually the better choice, and we will advise you.
