How heat pads help your muscle aches and pains - the science!

We all know heat pads are *so* comforting - but why is that? Here's why:

1. Increases Blood Flow: Applying heat increases circulation in the affected area. This enhanced blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, promoting healing.

2. Relaxation of Muscles: Heat helps to relax tense muscles and can alleviate stiffness, making it easier to move and reducing discomfort.

3. Pain Relief: The warmth can interrupt pain signals sent to the brain, providing a soothing effect and reducing the perception of pain.

4. Increased Flexibility: Warm muscles are more pliable, which can enhance your range of motion and flexibility, making activities easier and more comfortable.

5. Psychological Comfort: The sensation of heat can be comforting, which can also contribute to a reduction in the overall feeling of pain.
