- The body responds to moist heat by dilating the blood vessels, increasing the blood flow to the area under treatment.
- This increased circulation speeds recovery by bringing in fresh blood cells and taking away the wastes which may hinder healing.

- The hot pack, and rest, will gradually relax the muscle in spasm, restoring its normal length and relieving pain.

- Moisture is drawn from humidity in the air and retained in the outer flannel cover.
- The hot pack produces moisture for 20-30 minutes.
- After that time, the flannel begins to dry out and the unit should be set aside to regain moisture from the air.
- The body should be allowed to return to normal temperature and another treatment can be taken in 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
