Heat Therapy

At Wilston Physiotherapy, we are fortunate to have the capacity to apply moist heat in the form of clay-filled heatpacks which have been kept warm in a hydrocollator. Clinically, we have found that this heat can be more soothing and penetrative than the heat provided by other types of heatpacks. Heat therapy is a terrific way of improving blood flow to a region and facilitating more rapid healing, reducing pain and muscle spasm, and increasing the elasticity of certain tissues prior to treatment.

We do keep in stock a number of different sized wheatpacks that can be purchased for home use.
