Heat helps to relieve pain and muscle spasms. Warm therapy should be applied in alternate periods of between 15 and 20 minutes, for about two hours.
“The administration of heat is highly recommended to treat the pain of non-traumatic inflammation of the joints. Besides, it speeds up the drainage of infectious processes and abscesses and relaxes contracted muscles”, explains Yolanda Esperanza, nursing supervisor of the Intensive Care and Emergency Unit in Hospital Universitario Quirón Salud Madrid.
Warmth is primarily used to provide relaxation, comfort, and reassurance, and to relieve various types of bodily pain, mostly milder, persistent pain associated with stiffness, cramps, tingling or numbness.
Fur Buddies are the perfect combination of companionship and cozy warmth. They are designed to be by your side in those situations in which companionship and love have to go beyond to calm the pain by providing company and relieving stress.
