Weighted Heating Pad - Medical Grade Moist Heating Pad by PMT

The Medical Grade Moist Heating Pad from Pain Management Technologies combines moist heat therapy and a weighted blanket for a deep moist-heat pressure therapy. It utilizes heavy-duty copper and high-end components to provide constant infrared moist heat by having the soft flannel covering of the heating pad draw in moisture and humidity from the surrounding air. The flannel covering will retain moisture, transferring it to the skin and deep into the body's tissues through a process called fomentation.

Scientific studies have shown that infrared-stimulated moist heat provides greater benefits than a hot dry heating pad. Moist heat helps to enhance blood circulation, bring in newly oxygenated blood and nutrients while flushing away waste, speed up recovery time for chronic pain, arthritis, cramps, and muscle spasms while soothing and relaxing sore muscles, ligaments, and joints.

Over 5-lbs of ceramic clay beads within the Medical Grade Moist Heating Pad help to transfer the infrared heat evenly throughout while providing a soothing weighted pressure upon the body. This weighted pressure put on the body provides a hug-like, relaxing experience that mimics a therapeutic technique called "deep pressure". Deep pressure is often received from firm strokes, snuggles, or hugs, and creates feelings of calmness, contentedness, and overall serenity. Deep pressure therapy is often utilized by those with sensory processing disorders, Autism, or ADHD. Of course, anyone can benefit from deep pressure, as it also helps to soothe anxiety, quell nervousness and stress, and promote absolute relaxation. To enjoy a more relaxing experience, essential oil drops can be dropped onto the heating pad to seep into the warm clay beads.

The Medical Grade Moist Heating Pad comes with a handy digital LCD controller that comes preset with heat programs, removing all of the guesswork. For your peace of mind, this product also comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty that protects against manufacturer defects or dysfunction.
