While others in my family have suffered from back aches, I have not in all my 71 years; however, helping my daughter move to a new house broke that spell. Moving boxes, shifting furniture and generally doing more in one day than I usually do in a week gave me a nagging back ache. So, I purchased this on the advice of my pharmacist and he was right. I certainly got relief. I carefully followed the package directions that "aging skin" (over 55) should be protected by wearing the patch over a tee shirt since the deep and profound heat may burn my aging skin. The heat felt wonderful, lasted a long time and by the next day, I was totally back to my normal "never any back pain".

These are fabulous. Every few months I get major pain in my lower back. I can't take a lot of medications for the pain so I use the Robax heatwraps. They help a lot. The heat lasts for hours, so I can put one on before I go to work, and be good until I get home.

I started doing bench press last week and pulled a muscle in my back. Robax ThermaCare heat wrap offered much needed release. I had tried a warm compress the night before but this product was better as it stayed in place and offered much targeted relief exactly where I was experiencing pain. I will definitely be purchasing these in the future. For me, Robax is synonymous with muscle pain relief as its the only brand I will use when experiencing pain.

I received this as a sample. I was quite sceptical but decided to give it a go. I have chronic back pain that comes and goes, which I remedy with Tylenol 2, after applying the Heatwrap it hugged my back with a soothing warm sensation. I wore it for about 6 hours. It was also very comfortable to apply and wear. It definitely helped and I will be buying more.

I really like these wraps. The wide elastic band fits nicely around slim as well as heavy waists and I didn't really notice it at all. I thought I would notice the velcro and it might feel uncomfortable but it didn't. As long as the hooks are lined up properly, I didn't feel it. The heat was just enough to relax my back muscles without feeling like it was burning my skin. I'm not sure if I would use these on a really hot day since I did feel a little warmer than usual. I think it would be fantastic in the winter... double duty - easing my back pain and warming me up. All in all, I liked these and will definitely use them again.

My son used the Robax Heat Wrap for a sore back at the time and he found the product to be very effective in relieving strained muscles. The wrap was soothing.

I have used these heat wraps frequently. I have chronic lower back and hip pain and use them when I climb into bed. They help me get a good night sleep.

We always have them at home my husband suffers from really hard pain in the back (since a malpractice and the afghanistan war) and it's helping him get some sleep on the worsts nights. The only thing that botters me with them it's some of them are still heating after 3 days and they normally working for 8h.....

Great way to soothe lower back pain, I don't recommend wearing it while doing sweaty tasks. It relaxes me in a non scorching way

These wraps are quite remarkable. I am a chronic pain patient with injuries to my back and hips. There are times (like last night) that I can take Tylenol #3 without any relief to my pain. Recently, I purchased a box of the Robax Heatwraps Compresses that indicated that they provide up to 16 hours back pain relief. After taking the Tylenol and getting no relief, I applied one of these to my low back and upper hip area. I can definitely confirm that they worked the whole 16 hours on me. My back has been great all day and I have no discomfort whatsoever.

Robax Heatwraps provide heat therapy for temporary relief of minor muscular and joint aches and pains associated with overexertion, strains, sprains and arthritis.

I plan on using these again the next time I have to take a lengthy trip in the car. I usually have to stop 3 or 4 times and get out of the car to move around due to the discomfort in my back. I can't wait to see what happens on my next trip.

I give these a definite 5 out of 5. I highly recommend this product to anyone with back discomfort. I have a more serious case of back discomfort than they advertise on the box yet they worked wonderfully for me. I will be keeping a box on hand at all times from now on.

I had a current (at time of this writing) $3.00 coupon to use for purchase from www.websaver.ca and there is a $3.00 coupon within the box to help you purchase more in the future.
