Heat therapy is a supportive physiotherapeutic measure that uses targeted heat (e.g., through fango or heat packs).
The heat penetrates the tissue, promotes blood circulation, and ensures muscle relaxation.
Heat therapy is frequently used as preparation for further treatments such as massage or physical therapy.
Heat therapy is particularly suitable for:
Muscle tension in the back, shoulder, and neck area
chronic back pain
Muscle hardening
Restricted movement due to muscular tension
Discomfort caused by poor posture or prolonged sitting
Complementary to physiotherapy
The treatment aims to:
to relax the muscles
to improve tissue circulation
to reduce pain
to increase mobility
to support the effectiveness of further physiotherapeutic measures
This helps to alleviate discomfort and improve the conditions for effective follow-up treatment.
