The heat is to make it feel better. The ice is to take down swelling. The standard advice is RICE: rest, ice, compression (like an Ace bandage), elevation (prop it up with some pillows etc, or rest with the injured area above your heart). Heat will relax a muscle spasm, cramps, or pulled muscle but won't help with healing a sprain or tear.
What else can I help you with?
Should you ice or heat shin splints?

Where could someone purchase a heating cable?
Heating cables come under quite a few different names but are essentially the same product. They can be called heat tapes or heat tracing tapes, self regulating cables or roof and gutter de-icing cables. They should be purchased, whatever the name, from a specialist to ensure that they meet building and health and safety standars such as the Ice Dam company who will also install them for you.
How can you heat overnight oats before serving them?

Why the temperature of water the same as room temperature before heating?

Heating vents should be located near the floor since hot air rises. If the heating vents are located near the ceiling the heat would stay there and not warm the room.
What are the differences between radiant heat and infrared heating systems?
Radiant heat and infrared heating systems both use electromagnetic radiation to warm spaces, but they differ in how they distribute heat. Radiant heat warms objects directly, while infrared heating systems warm the air first before heating objects. This results in radiant heat feeling more immediate and targeted, while infrared heating systems may take longer to feel the effects.
