Heating pads are a form of heat therapy that promotes consistent circulation throughout the body. When faced with an injury, heating pads are a great way to reduce muscle or joint discomfort.
I like my new heating pad very much. It is about twice the size of my old one (it was very, very old). I have doubts about how long it will last. the controller is huge and cheaply made. The cord is sturdy. The heat pad itself is plush fabric on one side. It heats up very quickly. I've been using it for around 3 weeks and so far so good! The price was very good.
