Heat Therapy
Heat therapy, also known as thermotherapy, refers to the use of heat to relieve pain or swelling and increase health. By applying heat to a painful area, one can increase the extensibility of collagen tissues, decrease joint stiffness, reduce muscle spasms, and help to alleviate pain and inflammation. Expansion of the blood capillaries is the primary objective of heat therapy. Heat therapy increases the effect on muscles, joints, and soft tissue. Heat is typically applied by placing a warming device on the relevant body part.
Newer breeds of heat therapy devices combine a carbon fiber heater with a cordless rechargeable lithium battery and are built into the specific body wrap (i.e., shoulder wrap or back wrap) for targeted heat therapy. Such devices can be used as alternatives to chemical or plugged-in heating pads, but have not been shown to improve the clinical benefit. All devices primarily provide heat to promote vasodilatation.
Our salt pillows are an excellent option for heat therapy practices. The pillow can be heated safely in your oven at 175 degrees Fahrenheit, and then applied directly to the painful area. Additionally, these pillows can be wrapped in a bandage or muscle wrap for more targeted or immobilized heat therapy.
For those looking for a complement to heat or cold therapy with salt pillows, our Himalayan salt bath soaks can also be used in soaking therapy.
Cold Therapy
Cold therapy, or cryotherapy is the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy. Cryotherapy is widely used to relieve muscle pain, sprains and swelling either via soft tissue damage or postoperative swelling. It can be a range of treatments from the very low technology application of ice packs or immersion in ice baths (generally known as cold therapy) to the use of cold chambers (whole body or partial body cryotherapy) and or face masks or body cuffs with controlled temperature, sometimes called hilotherm.
Our salt pillow products can also be used for cold therapy. Simply place the pillow in your freezer until it reaches a cold and comfortable temperature, and then apply it to the painful area. Remember to remove your cold pillow every 10-15 minutes and allow your body to reacclimate to room temperature, to avoid the potential effects of frostbite.
For those looking for a complement to heat or cold therapy with salt pillows, our Himalayan salt bath soaks can also be used in soaking therapy.
