Most physical therapists will tell you to ice your injuries for 24
hours and then put a heat pack on it (and use the injured part of your
body as little as possible until the pain is gone).  So, unless you
are engaged in a daily relationship with your hooker (rugby joke!) a
warm pad might be better some of the days.

With apologies for dragging this further OT,
Greg
