I should never assume people know that microwave heating pads can make them feel better routinely. People who are in good physical shape may never have felt the need to use heating pads and may dismiss them as unnecessary.

Even those who are physically active occasionally pull a muscle, sleep the wrong way, feel stressed and tense, or come down with a cold or flu.  A little heat therapy can help with all of those things and more. Heat relaxes stiff muscles, helps stimulate circulation, and improves flexibility.

When circulation is poor due to inactivity from surgery, tendonitis, cramping, a broken bone, sprain or muscle strain a heating pad can help increase circulation. Heating pads are not a cure and do not fix health problems, but they will help a person feel better while the body heals. Physicians often recommend the use of heat after any swelling has gone down.

Maine Warmers animal designs offer a fun way to feel better and make great gifts with lasting value and no calories. They are versatile, durable, and safe.
