Heat Therapy
I've heard that far infrared heat therapy can be deep penetrating and therapeutic for muscles. Has anyone tried this application for internal muscles?

Re: Heat Therapy
I tried http://www.thermotex.com and also Biomat. Most of the time it has helped to reduce cramping. In the beginnning it seemed to help a lot. However, as time goes by it does not (or maybe I get used to it). I am using it most of the time. I did not see anything in terms of side effects for continuous use so possibly a good thing to have
