What are the benefits of COLD therapy?

Ice therapy (also known as cryotherapy) is one of the most common recommendations from doctors for injury prevention and recovery. Applying ice immediately after an injury or physical trauma (the sooner the better) restricts blood flow and slows bleeding / swelling. Ice therapy reduces pain and muscle spasm. Additionally, applying ice to the injured area reduces the metabolic rate of the cells, which limits the risk of cell death after an injury and helps prevent long-term damage.

RECOMMENDED ICE TIPS

You want to freeze for the first 24 hours after an injury when there are signs of swelling and / or bleeding. Even if you don't have an "injury," it is recommended that you apply ice after any physical activity to reduce the effects of wear and tear on the body.

What are the advantages of HOT therapy?

Heat therapy increases circulation (blood flow), effectively relaxing muscles and facilitating movement. Stimulating blood flow to the injured areas once swelling has subsided promotes healing and accelerates the recovery of damaged tissue.

RECOMMENDED HEAT TIPS

Heat should be introduced at least 24 hours after an injury once swelling / bleeding has subsided. Since heat stimulates blood flow, it will actually make swelling or bleeding worse if applied too soon. It is recommended to apply heat before physical activity, to stimulate blood flow and warm up the muscles. This will help prevent injuries during exercise. "
