Heat treatment is used as a treatment for many sports related musculoskeletal injuries. There are many forms of heat treatment, with the most effective often depending on the injury in question. Time scale is also an important factor when deciding whether to use heat therapy.
What are the Benefits of Heat-treatment?
Heat acts to:
- reduce arthritis and joint pain
- reduce stiffness
- decrease muscle spasm
- increase blood flow to the area which promotes healing
When Should I Use Heat Therapy?
Heat therapy should be used on chronic injuries and late stage acute injuries. A chronic injury is one that has persisted for a length of time and is usually due to overuse and biomechanical issues, as opposed to a traumatic incident. Heat can be used before exercise to warm the muscles, but should be avoided after exercise.
What are the Contraindications to Using Heat Therapy?
The following are contraindications (times when heat treatment is not
suitable) which apply to heat therapy:
- Sensory changes (cannot feel if it is too hot)
- Heat injury or burns
- Hyper or hypo-sensitive to heat
- Circulatory problems
- During the acute phase of injury
- Infections
- Malignant Tumor
