It's best to use a moist heating pad or hot towels For twenty minutes at a time . Moisture penetrates better than dry heat.
An analgesic balm applied after the heat will help relax the sore muscles.

I just saw research on that and new injuries used cold and long term chronic pain like arthritis and low back pain used hot. Try some ointments like Aspercreme as well as aspirin itself. Rotator cuff injuries take a long time to heal.

you could try using a product called IcyHot. it's like aspercreme or bengay, just rub it on and you get the best of both worlds!
