Hydrocollater Pack is a combination of bentonite clay and other natural fillings. These bentonite clay packs applied externally. They are used to alleviate inflammatory pain, joint pain, arthritis, congestion, bruised tissue, and strains. HPs prepare tense areas for deep tissue, reduce muscle spasm. They are very therapeutic following muscle soreness from physical activity. Hydrocollator packs are more effective for treating pain than electrical pads. Because moist heat relaxes muscles and nerves without drawing up moisture from the skin. So the affected area stays hydrated – this is important for a faster healing process.
Hydrocollater Pack increase blood flow by enlarging blood vessels below the surface relaxing the tissue, decreasing pain, and stimulating the healing process. Increasing circulation and relaxing muscles are not only helpful before a massage, but it’s also very beneficial before chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and therapeutic exercises as well. Athletes with chronic pain or overuse injuries may use this heat therapy before exercise to increase the elasticity of joint connective tissues and to stimulate blood flow.
