Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Hot Therapy
By hot therapy:
- Blood flow is increased.
- Pain is reduced.
- Muscle spasm is resolved.
- Joint stiffness is reduced.
- Nerve conduction is accelerated.
- In addition, flexibility of tissues is increased, facilitating exercise and treatment in joints with limitation of motion.
Hot packs, heating pads, paraffin, ultraviolet and infrared rays are used as superficial heating tools.
