Heat Therapy (HT)
What is
Heat Therapy (HT)
Heat therapy (HT) is a supportive physiotherapeutic treatment method where heat is specifically applied to certain areas of the body. The goal is to promote blood circulation, relax tense muscles, and alleviate pain.
The heat acts as a vasodilator, improving oxygen supply to the tissue and supporting metabolism. This promotes regeneration and enhances mobility.
In meiner Privatpraxis für Physiotherapie in München setze ich Wärmetherapie häufig als vorbereitende oder begleitende Maßnahme zu manuellen Behandlungen, Massagen oder Krankengymnastik ein.
Key benefits of
Heat Therapy
Heat relaxes muscles, reduces pain stimuli, and improves the elasticity of connective tissue. It can provide noticeable relief, particularly for chronic complaints or muscular tension.
Furthermore, it optimally prepares the tissue for further physiotherapeutic measures, allowing subsequent treatments to be carried out more effectively.

Your coverage
As a private practice I treat privately insured patients, patients with civil‑servant medical‑benefit coverage (Beihilfe), and self‑paying patients. I will be happy to inform you transparently about the treatment process and costs before therapy begins.
Heat therapy is frequently used as a supplementary measure within the scope of physiotherapeutic treatment.
Heat therapy promotes blood circulation, relaxes the muscles, and reduces pain. It also supports tissue regeneration.
In physiotherapy, methods such as Fango (mud packs), the "hot roll" technique, or heat packs are used. The choice of method is made individually, based on your specific symptoms.
Caution is required in cases of acute inflammation, recent injuries, severe circulatory disorders, or sensitive skin conditions. An individual assessment is conducted before every application.
