Hot and Cold Therapy work by stimulating your body’s own healing force.  Heat dilates blood vessels and conversely cold constricts blood vessels.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy, commonly known as cold therapy, is a healing technique that exposes the body to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes which reduces blood flow to a targeted area.  By constricting blood vessels, therapy can lessen inflammation, swelling, and nerve activity, which in turn relieves pain around muscles, joints, and tendons.

Cold Therapy Benefits:

• Reduces Recovery Time
• Decreases Pain
• Decreases Swelling and Inflammation
• Relieves Minor Injuries such as Bruises and Sprains

Heat Therapy

Thermotherapy, commonly known as heat therapy works by improving circulation and blood flow to a particular area. Increased blood flow can heal injuries faster and help relieve pain. The increased blood flow delivers needed proteins, oxygen, and nutrients and in turn removes cell wastes. Heat therapy can heal damaged tissue, reduce pain and inflammation and relieve muscle spasm.  In addition, heat alters the sensation of pain. Do not use heat treatments after activity, and do not use heat after an acute injury. Never use heat where swelling is involved because swelling is caused by bleeding in the tissue, and heat just draws more blood to the area.

Heat Therapy Benefits:

• Heals Injuries

• Decreases Muscle Spasm
