deep heat
Penetrating therapeutic warmth
Deep heat refers to therapeutic warmth applied to muscles and joints, typically through topical creams, heating pads, or medical treatments that penetrate below the skin surface.
The term describes both the sensation and the products that produce it: Apply some deep heat to that sore shoulder.
Deep Heat is also a brand name for muscle-relief ointments, which has become somewhat genericized in everyday speech.
