A pressure bandage whereby heat is directly transmitted to the body and the therapeutic effect is substantially improved by applying a heatable bandage under pull and pressure to the part of the body to be treated. To this end the heatable pressure bandage is elastically extensible and has self-adhering closures enabling proper application of the bandage to parts of different size of a body.
