• WHY MOIST HEAT IS SUPERIOR: You might have heard that dry heat is fine for loosening muscles and easing pain. Though it does have some benefits, studies have shown that moist heat has greater benefits than dry heat. The heat from Thermotech’s moist heating pad helps moisture get through the skin barrier and deeper into the tissue beneath. This helps to increase circulation to problem areas, bringing in new blood cells while taking away wastes to speed up recovery.
• Water not required: If you're wondering how a moist heating pad functions without getting wet, the soft flannel covering absorbs moisture and humidity from the air when heated. This moisture is then transferred to your skin through a process called fomentation, preventing saturation of your clothes and skin.
