Thermotherapy, or heat therapy, is a widely used treatment modality in physical therapy for relieving pain and promoting healing. It involves the application of heat to the body to increase circulation, relax muscles, and alleviate discomfort. Heat therapy can be administered through various methods, including hot packs, warm towels, or heating pads. The heat helps to improve flexibility, decrease stiffness, and reduce muscle spasms. Thermotherapy is commonly used to manage conditions such as muscle strains, arthritis, and chronic pain, providing a non-invasive and drug-free approach to pain relief.
