Moist Heat Therapy

At Maw Physiotherapy, moist heat therapy is used to relieve muscle tension, stiffness, and pain by applying therapeutic heat combined with moisture to the affected area. Unlike dry heat, moist heat penetrates deeper into the muscles and soft tissues, helping to increase blood flow, relax tight muscles, and improve flexibility. This treatment often involves warm, damp towels or hydrocollator packs wrapped around the injured or sore area. The gentle warmth prepares the body for other treatments such as stretching, manual therapy, or exercise, allowing for greater comfort and mobility. Our team at Maw Physiotherapy customizes each moist heat treatment to suit your specific condition and comfort level.
