Heat Therapy Equipment

Heat Therapy Equipment

Heat therapy equipment applies controlled warmth to a specific area. Heat is commonly used to help with muscle tension and stiffness, and it is sometimes applied before exercise or hands-on treatment. At Complete Care, it is used as a supporting part of a rehabilitation plan.

How It Fits Into Care

In general, whether heat is used depends on the nature and stage of the problem, as determined by the evaluation.

• Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy — another modality sometimes used as part of muscle and joint care.
• TENS & Electrical Stimulation Therapy — sometimes used along with heat.
• Computerized Range-of-Motion Testing — used to measure range of motion over time.
