Heat and massage therapy provide a lot of the same benefits, and when used together, they increase each other’s advantages. Those seeking the relaxing effects of these conjunctive therapies often opt for a hot stone massage, get a shoulder rub before a warm bath or use heated massage pads. Now with our Small and Large MojiHeat Heated Massage Balls you can experience the same positive results from the heat-massage combination without a lot of expense.
The benefits you can experience from heated massages are:
- Increased Flexibility
- Enhanced Blood Flow
- Induced Relaxation
Let’s explore these benefits further and discuss the science behind our MojiHeat technology and how it applies to you.
How Does Heat and Massage Increase Flexibility?
A study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy evaluated how well heat therapy and stretching enhanced flexibility. Researchers measured the range-of-motion outcomes when they treated volunteers solely with heat, stretching on its own and a combination of heat and stretching. The study determined that blending heat and stretching yielded the best results in terms of flexibility. These findings illustrate heat’s limbering power when combined with another therapy.
Like heat, massage therapy also targets flexibility, and you may benefit from using the two together. According to Massage Today, it’s the inflexible muscles and soft tissue that cause limited mobility and elevated pain. Massage therapists work to literally loosen these taut tendons and fascial planes, contributing to increased range of motion.

Adequate circulatory health is crucial to your overall well-being. According to the American Heart Association, your blood carries oxygen to the rest of your body. If your circulatory system doesn’t perform this process sufficiently, you become deprived of essential nutrients, contributing to pain, muscle spasms and ultimately nerve and tissue damage.
