Thermophore Automatic Moist Heat Pack Thermophore produces intense, moist heat for faster relief The application of moist heat is a commonly prescribed therapy in medical practice today, and the Thermophore Moist Heat Pack is the method physicians' recommend most often. Moist heat increases circulation and speeds recovery by bringing in fresh blood cells and taking away the wastes, which may hinder healing. These beneficial results continue for several hours after treatment. The application of moist heat, known as fomentation, is especially useful in treating back pain caused by muscle spasms from strain and tension. The Thermophore Moist Heat Pack and rest will gradually relax the muscle in spasm, restoring its normal length and relieving pain. The moisture produced by the Thermophore Moist Heat Pack transfers the high heat deeper into tissues than an ordinary dry heat pad. Arthritic and rheumatic pain is often temporarily relieved with the use of moist heat. The increased blood flow can relieve the inflamed joints and help maintain flexibility.

Summary: Moist heat is the best and the Thermaphore delivers!
Comment: As a massage therapist, I am looking for ways to access the relaxation response as quickly as possible in order for clients to get more out of their time on the table. Moist heat penetrates and relaxes the body and this pack can be used every hour of every workday as an adjunct to massage. Whether just for relaxation or to assist in deep tissue therapies, this product makes the session go further. Now, clients ask for the pack immediately as they walk in.

Summary: Nice, well made heating pad
Comment: I have used a couple of heating pads in the past and they either fall apart or don't get hot enough or feel very cheap. I have a friend who recommended this one and I took a flier and gave it a try. While only using it a couple of times, I can tell already that it is going to be different! It gets warmer, has a nice heavy feeling to it and I really like the way it draws the moisture out of the air (like magic!) and just feels "right" - I am now fighting my wife half the time to use it - will have to get her her own! I think I got a winner!

Summary: Great Product
Comment: I bought a Thermophore about 10 years ago, and used it almost daily. It finally wore out, and if I get as much service from my second one, I will be satisfied. It is large, has a trigger for on and off control, and has a substantial washable cover.

Summary: This is not your average heating pad
Comment: This is our second Thermophore 14 x 27, first one lasted about ten years or so, and we liked it enough to replace right away.

With temperatures up around 165 degrees, this will get in deep to your muscles and joints. A few rounds of 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off will work wonders.

One of the best features is that this pad is weighted all over with many flat metal weights that make it conform to your body for great contact and heat transfer.

Use with caution and read the instruction manual for warnings. See the Thermophore web site for more details.

Seems a bit expensive compared to standard heating pads, but it's in a class by itself and worth the investment.

Note, Don't be confused by the "Automatic" wording, it has a hand operated normally OFF switch. The Automatic refers to the moist heat since you don't have to wet it at all.

They now make the same unit with an automatic timer shut off switch if you might like that better than the manual switch that this one has. This one you have to hold the switch down to keep it hot, that way if you doze off it shuts it off.
The other is called "Automatic" with "Automatic switch"

BTW, the shipping service by 'The Therapy Connection at HPMS, Inc' was outstanding and it arrived in just a few days time. I'm sure that can vary, but my order shipped fast!
