My physiotherapist recommended I get a heating pad and use it on my shoulder for 15 minutes before doing my exercises. He said it will relax the muscles. He told me to put an ice pack on it after but I haven't tried that. I can see us using this heating pad for neck, back, knees, and other muscles, it is so comforting! It was $25 on Amazon.
It is good to have a heating pad on hand for sore muscles, etc. I also bought a small massage gun to use when my neck aches. Also only about $25.
ReplyDeleteI´ll look it up, thank you! And wish you progress, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a good thing to have on hand. I don't have a heating pad but I do have a heated throw blanket that I love!
ReplyDeleteI think Blogger ate my first comment. I had said a heating pad is a great thing to have on hand. I don't have a heating pad, but I do have a heated throw blanket that I love. Have a great weekend Christine! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so great to have in the winter too. I'm glad it is helping.
ReplyDeleteI use a heating pad a lot-for aches and pains-love it
ReplyDeleteThat's good! I can't take painkillers. But cold and hot are good help for me.
ReplyDeleteSwitching between heat and ice is crucial to healing. Blessings, Christine!
ReplyDeleteI got the same thing from a discount store. That helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteI like having mine! Great gift idea too!
ReplyDeleteGreat to know about this. Thanks so much. I like these for my bed on a cold winter's night.

ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you! I might try that. 😊
ReplyDeleteWe have several here and one that vibrates on the back or legs. Works Well.
ReplyDeleteYo tengo una. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteHeating pads are really great for arthritis but the ice part isn't. If you were asked to put ice on your shoulder after exercising, then you should listen and do it. That's why they are paid the big bucks.
ReplyDeleteGet a paper cup and fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Use it to rub over the muscles that need it. Peel the paper off the top of the cup as you use it and then put it back into the freezer for next use.
A heating pad and ice cubes are both good things to have on hand. Sometimes a medical staff member will recommend ice, other times heat.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice looking heating pad.
ReplyDeleteGoing from heat to cold really does help.
