What To Look For In Spa Neck Wraps

By Krystal Branch


Spa neck wraps offer a simple, relatively inexpensive way of providing relief from muscle pain and stiffness. There are many individuals who suffer constantly from pain in their necks due to general stress and tension or specific chronic conditions. Heating a wrap in a microwave or chilling it in a refrigerator is possible and this makes it even more effective. The fillers and ingredients used in a wrap vary considerably and some work better than others. Always make sure that you know exactly what ingredients a wrap contains, including the fillers, herbs and essential oils used.

When looking for such a product, it is important to consider the fabric used for the cover. It needs to be as soft and flexible as possible to fit closely and yet be as comfortable as possible. There are covers made from soft fleece, flannel, lightly quilted fabrics and even cashmere. The cover also needs to be durable and easy to clean. One that can be removed and washed in a washing machine is most convenient.

A variety of different fillers are used for these products such as corns, beans, dry rice and seeds. Some are more comfortable than others and retain heat better too. Flax seeds are often chosen as they are smooth and flat and can retain heat for a long time. Flax seeds are also very resilient.

The herbs contained in products like this are chosen for their soothing and relaxing qualities. Lavender, marjoram, lemon balm, rosemary and chamomile are just some of the herbs used. A product may contain a single herb like lavender, known for its circulatory and anti-inflammatory qualities, or a blend of different ones.

Generally, heat should not be applied to an acute injury or where discoloration or swelling is present. However, it is very helpful in breaking a chronic cycle of muscular pain and spasm. An increase in blood circulation brings relief when suffering from conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia. Healing oxygen reaches the tissues and toxic substances are carried away, providing increased mobility. A wrap is easy to wear in different situations such as while at sitting at a desk in an office or at home relaxing in front of the television. It can even be used to relax one before going to bed at night.

Cold therapy is beneficial in cases of swelling or when muscles have been overstressed following a fitness activity. Placing a wrap in a resealable plastic bag and storing it in the freezer means that it is always available when needed. The cold allows the area to rest, reducing any swelling and numbing the aches with an analgesic effect.

The variety of items offered by online suppliers can be quite daunting when trying to make a selection. Sometimes reviews written by customers about a specific product can be helpful. A reputable supplier must be chosen to avoid purchasing cheap and ineffective products containing inferior fillers.

Spa neck wraps offer you access to effective therapy in the comfort of your own home or wherever else you may need it. A product like this can often be used as a first resort in obtaining relief before going for more expensive options like physiotherapy. Investing in a product like this is worth it for the benefit of welcome relief whenever it is needed.
