Correction to above. If muscles are cramping, ice is better. If muscles are very sore due to inflammation, heat is better. Also, you can sleep with a pillow under your legs (if you are on your back), between your legs if you are on you side. This takes the pressure off the lower back which will ease the cramping. Also can elevate the feet. If you do not have a bed that will automatically fold the feet up, just take a piece of luggage or other object to put between the mattresses to raise the feet up (this again takes pressure off the back).

You’re absolutely right—if the muscles are cramping, ice therapy is a better option as it helps numb the area and reduce inflammation, while heat therapy works best for sore muscles due to inflammation, helping to increase circulation and promote relaxation.
As for the heating pad, I've been using the UTK far infrared heating pad bought from their site: bit.ly/4gwQgHO. It's been a game changer for me—it helps me relieve pain and tension in my lower back like nothing else. The infrared heat penetrates deep into the muscles, which really makes a difference compared to traditional heating pads. I love that I can control the temperature and time with ease, and the pad is so comfortable to use, especially after a long day or an intense workout. It’s become a part of my daily routine.
