    Use these helpful tips to get the best performance out of ThermaCare® Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps

    1. Ensure skin in application area is clean, dry and free of makeup, recently applied skin moisturizer, lotions and other topical analgesics.

    2. Position wrap by lightly pressing tabs into place on your skin. Make any needed adjustments and rub over adhesive tabs firmly to “lock” in place.

    3. Use care when handling the adhesive tabs so you don’t get anything on them that will prevent the adhesive from working (e.g., lotions, lint, hair, makeup, etc.).

    Managing Lower Back and Hip Pain 

    Approaches to muscle and joint pain management have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Experts now recommend staying active and exercising. Use ThermaCare® HeatWraps at any early sign of pain. Combined with exercise, this can help keep muscle and joint pain under control.

    Treatment of muscular lower back and hip pain should aim to relieve soreness so you can continue your everyday activities.

    What You Can Do

    Combine the heat therapy of ThermaCare® with the following:

    1. Perform range-of-motion and strengthening exercises while pain symptoms are present*

    2. Move on to low-stress exercises (e.g., walking, swimming or cycling) after pain symptoms have improved (typically 2 to 4 weeks)

    3. Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise and uncomfortable positions

    4. Use medication as directed

    5. Maintain normal activity

    6. Consult your doctor

    *Consult your doctor (or physician) before beginning a new exercise regimen

I have arthritis; your product has been a lifesaver. I can’t believe how long it stays warm and I am able to get more done. Again, thank you so much for a wonderful product. It’s nice to have a product that actually does what it claims to do.

I do highway and land surveying and we do a lot of work involving cutting through brush and briars and such. When this happens, muscles tend to get really sore; ThermaCare HeatWraps help relieve the tightness and soreness.
