Ever wondered why a hot water bottle or heating pad can make sore muscles feel better?
Heat helps increase blood flow in the area and often encourages muscles to relax, which may reduce feelings of stiffness and discomfort.
That's why many people find warmth helpful when dealing with muscular tightness or soreness.
While heat can provide temporary relief, understanding the underlying cause of pain remains important for long-term recovery.
