FOR A BAD BACK

ThermoDr self-heating body wrap, £24.95, theheatpack company.com THIS neoprene wrap is secured by Velcro and uses tourmaline gemstones and magnets, which radiate your own heat back into your body to relieve aches. EXPERT COMMENT: ‘Like many dentists, I suffer with a bad back from years of leaning over patients — and I find this really helps,’ says David Cohen, a specialist endodontist (specialist in root canal treatment) at ICE Postgraduate Dental Institute and Hospital in Manchester. ‘ You put the wrap on tight and, in ten to 15 minutes, feel an intense heat on your lower back. ‘ The fact that it contains gemstones may sound a bit unusual, but it seems to work. It fits on well, too.’
