Customer Review: The Best Infrared Deep Heating!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
(This review is for the Thermotex Infrared (IR) Heating Pads.)
The Thermotex heating pads come in different sizes, but they all use the same heating levels and technology. The heating element in all of their units is a hard, non-flexible board-like material. They almost feel like a piece of plywood against your body (but nicely covered in high quality cloth). The available Thermotex heating pads are usually made up of multiple 3 x 8 inch pieces sewn together (as in the Platinum, Elbow, and Shoulder models), although there can also be larger size elements as in the Gold, Professional, and Large Shoulder models. The infrared energy radiates from one side of the pad only, with the hard side of the pad placed toward the body. The soft padded side does not heat. The internal elements are rigid and should never be bent (but you are allowed to sit on them or place under the feet while sitting).
We have tried other so called "infrared" heating pads, belts and light devices, but none of them measured up to the Thermotex quality - the others only heated up, and some even burned, the surface of the skin. It was a long and costly search. Thermotex is the only one in the market currently (at least that I am aware of) that provides truly deep, penetrating infrared heat (about 6 cm deep after 20 minutes). And Thermotex products will not burn or dehydrate the skin.
Studies (mostly done on horses) claim that Thermotex increases hemoglobin by 25% to 28%, helps relieve muscle soreness (removes lactic acid build-up in muscles), reduces arthritis pain (removes inflammation of the joints caused by arthritis), removes sinus inflammation and congestion (enhances the respiratory system), and acts as a diuretic (increases kidney function). It can even eliminate colic (a pain in the abdomen or bowels) provided that early treatment has been performed.
I believe the above statements are true, since we have certainly experienced some of these results. Try it to treat any aches and pains (unless heat is contraindicated for the problem). This is a fantastic heating/therapy pad! BUT FOR BEST THERAPUTIC EFFECTS, ONLY TREAT YOUR BODY ON THE LOW HEAT SETTING (after an initial 15-minute warm up on High). Recommended treatment time on the Low setting is 20 - 45 minutes per area. Of course, when you are cold and just want to warm up your body, you can certainly use the High setting only.
To the best of my knowledge, currently this is the only consumer available heating pad at a reasonable cost that, at the Low setting, provides therapeutic heat near the optimum 9.35 ?m infrared wavelength (corresponding to about 41?C temperature).
We own a few different models of Thermotex, this way we can always find the right size to treat a body part and to reduce treatment time. Because the elements are nearly as hard as a brick and it is almost impossible for the whole surface of the element to completely touch a "curvy" human body, I have taken off 1 Star from the rating. To be most effective, the heating surface must directly touch the skin over the area being treated. Increasing the distance from the treatment area (i.e., not touching the skin or wearing thick clothing), dramatically reduces the therapeutic effect. A soft, flexible heating element (but still of the same high quality) would have been more convenient and easier to accommodate the shape of the body. At least the different Thermotex heating pad models come with Velcro straps to help affix to the designated body part.
Both the electrical Cord and the heat selection Switch are heavy duty and sturdy. The manual heat control Switch (we have these in Canada, but apparently in some countries, the newer models come with a digital switch) shows "Off," "Low," "High," and "Off" (that's right!).
As you can tell, we really like these heating pads and highly recommend them.
Description of Thermotex TTS Gold Infrared Heating Pad - 15" x 16" - Great for Tendonitis Pain
The Thermotex Gold Heating Pad is a 15 x 16 infrared heating pad unit that will relieve you of acute and chronic pain at home, in the office, and most other places, and is a safe alternative to other pain relief products and methods. At 120 volts and 35 watts, the size of the Gold Heating Pad is an ideal solution for reducing inflammation in the thick muscles of the back and helping to heal tendonitis pain. The Gold Heating Pad features a Velcro fastening system for ease of use, and the nylon and cotton casing is machine washable. While cold compression wrap devices focus on constricting blood vessels to reduce inflammation, the Thermotex Gold Heating Pad uses an infrared heating system to penetrate deep into the tissues of the body through a process called conversion, which allows heat to transfer from the pad to your skin without conduction through the air. Other heating pads may heat the skin at temperatures of up to 55 degrees (C) and burn or dehydrate the skin, but the conversion process used in Thermotex pads allows for a more efficient transfer of heat and requires only 40 to 45 degrees to get the same results. Other pain relief products such as pain medication reduce the bodys capacity to recognize inflammation and other harmful signals being sent to the brain. The infrared heating system of the Gold Heating Pad will increase blood flow in the afflicted area, creating a safe, non-addictive solution to pain relief without side effects and in many cases will allow you to reduce your intake of pain medication. The Thermotex Gold Heating Pad is an ideal solution for relieving yourself of back pain and is a convenient solution for you to take with you wherever you go.Pain Relievers
