Secondly, there is the safety issue of temperature control. Most products on the market use a fixed power heating mode and lack a real-time feedback mechanism for skin temperature. Finally, there is the limitation of response speed. After the user starts the device, it takes a long time to perceive the temperature rise. At this time, the current stimulation effect has begun to appear, which may weaken the overall treatment experience. Based on this, the industry needs to design a control method and a physical therapy controller for a physical therapy controller to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
