'>Moist heat therapy involves using water to provide deeper, more penetrating warmth compared to dry heat. It can be applied through various methods, including steam towels, hot baths, and, most commonly, moist heating pads. The moisture enhances the heat's effectiveness, making it easier for the body to absorb the heat into the tissues. This type of therapy increases blood flow, relaxes muscle tension, and promotes healing in the affected area, making it particularly beneficial for back pain relief.
