Back Pain Be Gone! Rally For Relief With ThermaCare Giveaway

0 Shares

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Jeannette. Congrats!

No pain no gain right? At least that’s what my husband tells me after I’ve finished a fitness class at the gym, walked all over ~~New York London Montreal~~ the city we happen to be traveling in, or attempted to keep up with two young kids at Disneyland. I expect varying degrees of physical activity to result in some degree of discomfort. But there have been times when the pain is more than I can bear.

I have a history of intermittent low back pain, and everything from pregnancy to sitting on a plane for 6 hours can trigger an exacerbation. Strenuous exercise is typically the trigger. The remedy? Heat! Whether it was my mother as a child or my physical therapist as an adult, heat has always been suggested as an effective form of pain relief. According to ThermaCare, heat penetrates muscles, warming them to relax, soothe, and unlock tightness. The actual physiologic process is described on their website, if you’re interested.

If you’ve ever used a heating pad or a hot water bottle for aches and pains (raises hand), you’ll be happy to learn that you can now get that warm, relaxing, pain relief in a safe, portable, long-lasting heat wrap. ThermaCare offers the only wrap on the market that can provide up to 16 hours of pain relief.

For the next several months, I’ve partnered with ThermaCare to dialogue about a topic we don’t often address. Pain, regardless of where it’s located or how persistent it is, can be debilitating. ThermaCare provides therapeutic, long-lasting relief.
