Heat Therapy in Physical Rehabilitation

Heat Therapy (Thermotherapy)

Heat therapy, also known as thermotherapy, involves applying controlled heat to the body to relieve pain, promote healing, and improve flexibility. This technique is widely used in physical therapy to address musculoskeletal issues like muscle spasms, stiffness, joint pain, and chronic inflammation.

Our licensed physical therapists use heat therapy to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and relax tense muscles—helping you move more comfortably and recover faster. Whether it's post-surgical rehabilitation or injury recovery, heat therapy can play a key role in your healing journey.
