Heated floors help with body pain
I came home from the gym and I must have hurt myself.
- I did more than I usually do.
The next morning, when I woke up, I could hardly move. Every movement hurt. I got out of bed and just collapsed to the floor, too sore to move. Soon, I became too comfortable to move because we have heated floors throughout the house, including the bedroom floor. As I lay there and felt the heat soak through my achy body I could feel every muscle start to relax. I laid there for several more minutes before I was able to finally get off of the floor and get ready for work. By the time I got back from work, everything hurt again. As soon as I got inside I kicked off my shoes and laid down on the living room floor and felt the heat from the floors soak through me. I felt better almost immediately. It was like being in a jacuzzi. Every sore muscle relaxed. Of course, my family thought I was kind of strange when the got home and found me lying in the middle of the living room. I didn’t care. I didn’t even want to get up for dinner. I ended up sleeping on the floor for the next two nights. Man, what a difference it made to my aching body. I have never really given much thought to the different types of heaters available to heat a house. Our home came with the underfloor heating and I’m super glad it did. I doubt that sitting in front of a heater vent would have been so helpful to my aches and pains.
