Yes, but certain precautions should be taken. The reality is that there is no problem in applying heat therapy in elderly people, as long as a study of their medical history is performed, since it is not recommended in patients suffering from peripheral arterial disease, skin sensitivity, heart disease or consuming some type of anticoagulant medication.
Likewise, even if the patient does not suffer from any contraindicated condition,special care should be taken and they should always be monitored and assisted at the time of each thermotherapy session.
