This process is significantly more effective at reaching deep-seated pain in the joints and muscles. The Large 14\" x 27\" model is specifically designed for the back, which is the most common area for chronic pain, allowing you to treat the upper and lower back simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Classic\" switch is a favorite among users who want absolute control. Because the unit provides such intense heat (reaching higher temperatures than standard retail pads), the hand-held switch ensures you never fall asleep with the unit on. As soon as you release the button, the unit begins to cool, putting the user in total command of their comfort level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to pour water on the cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Thermophore technology is designed to draw moisture from the humidity in the air.
