Thermotherapy in Lafayette and shreveport, LA
What it is
Thermotherapy uses soothing, controlled heat to increase blood flow, relax tight muscles, and ease pain so your body can heal and move better. At FHPT, your clinician applies the right form of heat for your condition. This can include moist hot packs, heated wraps, or targeted heat prior to hands-on care and exercise. The goal is to reduce stiffness, calm sensitive tissues, and create a better window for mobility and strength work.
Who it helps
Thermotherapy can help many common problems. It is useful for neck and low back tension, stiff shoulders and hips, tendon irritation, and muscle strain recovery once the acute stage settles. It helps people who wake up stiff, workers who sit for long hours, and active adults who need their muscles to relax before training. It also pairs well with post operative rehab when careful warming improves comfort before movement.
Why FHPT
Fulco & Hall Performance & Therapy treats heat as a tool, not the whole plan. Your session starts with a quick screen to confirm that heat is the right choice for your body today. We set temperature, layering, and time for safety and effect. Then we build on that with skilled manual therapy and targeted exercise, so relief turns into real progress. Our therapists and performance coaches work together which means you get a smooth handoff from comfort to capability.

Safety and fit
Your therapist will check for conditions where heat is not the best choice, such as areas with reduced sensation or certain circulatory issues. We test skin tolerance and monitor throughout the session. At home, we teach you safe use rules and simple timing so you get the benefits without irritation. If heat is not appropriate, we choose another method like gentle mobilization, electrical stimulation, or cold therapy based on your needs.
