What is Hot & Cold Therapy
Hot & Cold Therapy, also known as thermotherapy and cryotherapy, involves the application of heat and cold to the body to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery. By alternating between hot and cold applications, we can address a wide range of symptoms associated with auto injuries.
How Does it Work?
Cold Therapy: Applied shortly after an injury, cold therapy works by reducing blood flow to the affected area, which helps to decrease swelling, inflammation, and pain. It is particularly effective during the initial 48 hours following an injury.
Hot Therapy: After the acute phase, hot therapy is introduced to relax and soothe muscles and joints. It increases blood circulation, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the injured area, aiding in the healing process and relieving discomfort.
