The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
Daily heat treatments, applied during 10 days of immobilization, prevented the loss of mitochondrial function, increased heat shock protein levels, and attenuated skeletal muscle atrophy compared to sham control in a small trial in humans.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Local heat treatments dramatically reduced muscle atrophy by 37% in a small human trial, effectively preserving mitochondrial function and boosting heat shock protein levels during 10 days of immobilization, compared to a control group.
