A wireless inductive heating system for thermal treatment is demonstrated using ultrastretchable liquid‐metal‐cored fibers. Incorporated in a wristband for alleviating pain during workplace computer use, the heater is able to both heat by up to 15 °C at 0.7 W input power and maintain electrical performance to 100% strain.
