Abstract
An assembly for the treatment of muscle injuries and the like with heat and physical action. Liquid is circulated within a closed system from a tank having heating means therein, and pump, to a flexible bag member. Flow at the inlet of the bag member is restricted to increase the velocity (and momentum) of the liquid, and the heat and momentum of the liquid are transferred through the bag walls to the portion of an individual's body to be treated. The liquid is returned from the bag to the tank. The closed system is mounted on a carrier for ready transport thereof.
