Our joints and muscles
experience colossal wear-and-tear damage every day if not nurtured as nature
intended. Because most of us lead busy lives, we often forget to do things that
our body tells us. We neglect signals to rest, and instead, we push on, expecting
our body to follow suit. Nevertheless, our bodies are not machines and they
need to be tended to. Without proper care, we can develop serious conditions
that may lead to chronic pain. One of the most common conditions is arthritis.
Arthritis is a painful,
debilitating condition that affects approximately 3.85
million people in Australia. If you do the math, that means
about one in five Australians are suffering from arthritis. Osteoarthritis, the
most common type of arthritis, is caused by the deterioration of cartilage in
your joints. If left untreated for a long period of time, cartilage may
completely disappear, resulting in bone-on-bone grinding. This can produce a
great deal of pain and cause many sufferers from participating in any physical
activity.
There are a variety of risk
factors for arthritis, including genetics, age, gender, previous joint injury
and obesity. Obviously, the more pressure you put on your joints could lead to
injury and the development of arthritic pain. While there are many medications
for the treatment of arthritis, one holistic method is heat therapy.
FlexEze
heat patches are approved by the Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA) and utilised in many major hospitals across Australia.
Designed to relieve arthritic pain, FlexEze patches can produce soothing,
consistent heat for up to 12 hours!
How
to Use FlexEze
Using a
FlexEze heat patch or wrap has never been easier. Once it’s peeled open, the
patch self-activates when exposed to the air. As a rule of thumb, you should wait
about 20 minutes to allow the patch to reach its maximum temperature before
applying it to the affected area. While you can apply the patch directly to
your skin, you also have the option of inserting it into a reusable body wrap
to place around the back, leg, arm or any other area.
If you’re looking for a joint
or muscle pain remedy, try FlexEze. These heat wraps are made without any harsh
chemicals, so you can rest easy knowing you are using a drug-free, natural heat
therapy solution. Available in pharmacy or your local physio, osteo or kiro,
FlexEze is a great solution for those suffering from arthritis, chronic back
pain, menstrual cramping or other aches. Not convinced? FlexEze is the No. 1
heat patch used in hospitals across Australia and trusted by many health
professionals!
