Heat suggestion for self care

[rivi]

One very helpful tool I have purchased and therapists might consider recommending to clients for self care is an electric heating pad:

If the link doesn't work, the one I have bought is a
"SoftHeat King Moist Heating Pad with Aquifier Sponge & Auto-off"
$29.99 CAD

I use it dry without the polyester bag it comes in. In terms of bang-for-your-buck, this item, as well as the Thera Cane, have been head and shoulders above all others.

I use it at least twice a day along my spine. The only disadvaneforum.xxxe is you are not suggested to lie on it, even on a bed (given that it has electric wires inside), so you must lie on your stomach and leave it on your back thus.

Otherwise great.

i'm not a big fan of heat. i try to suggest to my clients to use ice whenever possible. it takes some getting used to but is so much better than heat for most cases! the theracane is great tool. i'm glad you're using it!
