4. Preparation for hot therapy (microwave oven): Lay pack flat in the microwave oven. Heat packs in 3 intervals of 30 seconds each, followed by 1 interval of 15 seconds. Remove pack carefully from microwave and briefly knead the pack after each interval to distribute heat evenly. Check for desired temperature.

When comfortable, apply to desired area for as long as is comfortable. Generally the pack needs re-warming between 30 and 60 minutes. Remove pack if it becomes uncomfortable.
