What is a Heat Therapy?

Heat therapy, also called Thermotherapy is the application of heat to the body for pain relief. Heat therapy is commonly used for rehabilitation purposes.

The therapeutic effects of heat include increasing the extensibility of collagen tissues, decreasing joint stiffness, reducing pain, relieving muscle spasms, reducing inflammation, edema and aids in the post acute phase of healing and increasing blood flow. The increased blood flow to the affected area provides proteins, nutrients and oxygen for better healing.

Heat therapy has been around for thousands of years. In ancient Greece, approximately 500BC, Parmenides used heat to create fever in an attempt to cure illness. Romans used heat baths to cure sickness. Heat therapy was first studied in 1866 by German physician M. Busch to cure a neck sarcoma.

By increasing the temperature of the skin artificially, tissue underneath the skin is also heated. The temperature of the muscle consequently increases, producing improved blood flow throughout the affected area. Increased blood flow provides a surplus of nutrients, protein and oxygen for faster healing. It also speeds the removal of toxins from the site. In addition it stimulates thermoreceptors when stimulated, help to block the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

Heat therapy has limitations and generally should not be used by people who have dermatitis, deep vein thrombosis, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, an open wound or severe cognitive impairment.
