Abstract: In one instance, a heating pad is disclosed that is flexible, battery-power, and weighted. The heating pad includes a sleeve formed with a top layer and a bottom layer and having an interior. A weighted segment layer is disposed within the interior of the sleeve. The weighted segment layer may include a plurality of pockets each having a plurality of weights. A conductive layer or sheet is disposed within the interior of the sleeve closer to the user than the weighted segment layer when in the deployed position. A battery and control unit is electrically coupled to the conductive layer for selectively providing power to the conductive layer. At least one temperature sensor is coupled to the conductive layer and electrically coupled to the control unit and provides safety features. Other heating pads are presented.

Abstract: In one instance, a recovery system to assist an athlete with recovery is presented that includes a battery-operated, flexible wrap that applies heat and optionally pneumatic pressure while utilizing both conductive and radiant heat in varying proportions according to a desired pattern. Optionally, at least one pneumatic bladder on the flexible wrap applies the pneumatic pressure to the user. The recovery system has a control unit that ramps the temperature applied before leveling at a target temperature. Other systems and devices are presented.
