Heat packs, also known as hot packs or heating pads, are devices designed to produce and apply heat to the body. They can be microwaveable or contain materials that generate heat when activated.
Heat Pack Use Cases:
- Muscle Relaxation: Heat packs for physical therapy are used to relax and soothe tense or sore muscles, promoting increased blood flow to the area.
- Pain Relief: They are effective for managing chronic pain conditions, such as lower back pain or arthritis.
- Menstrual Cramp Relief: Heat packs are commonly used to relieve the discomfort of menstrual cramps when applied to the lower abdomen.
