Moist heat treatments are more effective than dry heat treatments. This is because moisture transmits heat better than air. The outer fleece blend cover of the Thermophore Hot Pack draws humidity from the air and retains it. Once the heat is turned on, the moisture is forced out of the fleece blend and onto the treated area.
There is no water to boil, no sponge. No scalded fingers, no towels and no need to rely on others to help administer treatments
Moist heat stimulates tissue activity with deep, penetrating heat and temporary pain relief results in a matter of minutes

Customer Rating:
Summary: not hot enough
Comment: I would have liked the heating pad to get hotter. I would buy the manual control if I were doing it again as the heating pad with the atomatic shut off control started cooling down after it had been on only a short time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Couldn't live without it.
Comment: I have been using Thermophore pads for 2 decades. The original style only heated while you depressed the button. Then, when you drifted off to sleep, it would go off. That was great.
However, the newer Arthritis style Thermophone has been even better. It stays on for about 20 minutes, then automatically shuts off. I use both the neck model and this longer model. The neck one is used around my neck for cervical pain. This longer style is used around my low back and also on my topmost thigh and knee as I sleep on my side.
This one was a replacement for my last one that quit working after about 2 years. I took the control to the old one apart and discovered the wires had pulled loose. So, I recommend not tugging on the cord where it goes into the control. I may have caused it to jerk loose holding it up by the cord and untwisting the cord. I am more careful now.
I still recommend this very highly.

Summary: Too Hot
Comment: This is not what I wanted! You cannot lie on this pad - it must be placed on top of you...forget trying to relive shoulder or neck pain because your head boils off first! And even on top of you - it gets way too hot! I wish I could return it and get a regular heating pad!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Heating Pad and Excellent Service / Delivery
Comment: The heating pad really works well and the moist heat penetrates deep! It feels great to be able to just relax and not have to worry about the timer also as this unit has the 20 minute cycle and will shutoff if you do not reset the cycle again.
The processing and delivery of the product was excellent as Isokinetics was able to give me the Fedex tracking info when I called and they delivered it that day! Thanks Amazon, my back thanks you too!

Editorial Reviews:

Thermophore Moist Heat Pack Units are one of the most popular sources of therapeutic heat in the home. The Thermophore Moist Heat Pack, designed and manufactured in the US, is usually compared to the standard heating pad sold in the pharmacy for $20.00 or less. Most patients, and even some medical professionals, are not aware that the Thermophore Pack reaches a much higher temperature and automatically produces moist heat without adding water. The Thermophore Pack is actually considered a medical device. The Thermophore Pack delivers consistent moist heat, which is applied and controlled by the patient for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Microwave products and boiled products do not deliver a consistent, controlled temperature, and may he dangerous to the patient.
