A therapeutic pad is formed from a container having elongate compartments arranged in parallel relationship across the width of the container and extending substantially across the full length of the container. The container is formed from a fabric material which is permeable to moisture but contains the filler material which is sand. The compartments are filled with the sand. The use of sand allows moisture to be applied to the container which will then be held within the interstices of the sand for either heating by microwave or cooling by freezing. A separate cover is formed from a quilted padded fabric material shaped to double the size of the container so that it can be folded to cover both sides of the container. One half of the cover includes a moisture impermeable layer to prevent the escape of moisture from that side while the other side allows the escape of moisture. This allows the user choice of applying either moist heat or dry heat to the body of the patient.
