Thermal Massager - Reap The Benefits of Heat Therapy Massage

Cranking Up The Heat With Thermal Massagers

There are massagers.

And then there are thermal massagers.

What’s the difference between the two?

Simply put, a thermal massager uses electric current to generate heat that permeates the heating pads. A regular massager provides a massage but without generating heat.

For some people, the addition of heat can make the difference between a good massage and a great massage.

And for still others, the addition or absence of heat can make all the difference between a good massage and a bad massage.

Sometimes when you get a massage, adding a little heat can go a long way towards helping you to relax and soothe your muscles, especially if your muscles are sore.

To Heat Or Not To Heat? That is the Question.

Is a thermal massager right for you?

• Some people swear by it. They couldn’t have a massage unless it was augmented with heat.
• And there are some people who don’t like the heat because it makes them uncomfortable.
• And then there are those people for whom the use of a thermal massager and the ensuing application of heat can actually pose as a health hazard.

There is no denying that heat helps to relax the muscles, which can greatly enhance the benefits of receiving a massage.

But for some people with sensitive skin, the heat might be too intense.

(If you are going to buy a thermal massager, make sure you buy one that has a variable temperature control that allows you to adjust the temperature of the heat.)

Thermal Massagers Are Not For Everyone...

Are there any people for whom a thermal massager is NOT recommended?

• Pregnant women are discouraged from using thermal massagers.
• The heat may not be good for the baby.
• Thermal massagers use electric current. This electric current generates electromagnetic radiation which may be harmful to the fetus.
• Individuals who wear pacemakers to control their heartbeat are discouraged from using thermal massagers. The electromagnetic radiation can interfere with the proper function of the pacemaker.

Safety First...

Certain precautions must be taken when using a thermal massager.

• Keep the thermal massager away from water so as to avoid the risk of electrocution.
• Don’t use a thermal massager for longer than recommended, due to the risk of developing cancer from excessively long exposure to radiation.
• Make sure you have the ability to control the temperature.
• Make sure you have easy access to shut off the heat or to shut off the massager in case you need to abruptly stop it due to discomfort or distress.
• It is a good idea to ensure that the massager does not make direct contact with your skin but goes over your clothing, to minimize your risk of burn.

Which Type of Thermal Massager Is Best For You?

Thermal massagers come in all different shapes and sizes.

• Massage chair pads often come with heating coils built into them, that apply heat to your back as you sit against the chair.
• Portable massagers can release heat through the prongs that make contact with your body.
• A wearable massage pad that is velcroed to your body can also be designed to release heat as well.
