熱療（Heat therapy）能促進血管擴張、增加組織代謝及緩解肌肉痙攣，但若使用不當極易造成燙傷（Burn）。護理安全重點在於控制時間與溫度，並監測皮膚反應。每 15 分鐘檢查皮膚是為了提早發現紅斑（Erythema）或皮膚受損跡象，特別是對於感覺減退的病人。熱療時間通常建議限制在 20-30 分鐘，過長時間會導致反射性血管收縮，反而損傷組織。
Clients should check the skin frequently, such as every 15 minutes, to detect early signs of thermal injury like redness. Heat should never be applied to numb areas, left on for excessive durations, or placed directly against the skin to prevent burns.
