This section aims to offer guidance and protocols on how cold and heat therapies can be used together for optimal results. Combining Cooling (Icing) with Local Heat Therapy When local heat (heat packs) are applied to a target area, blood vessels dilate, increasing blood flow, metabolism, enzyme activity and cellular repair accelerate. The area becomes more oxygenated and […]

The first form of Cryotherapy we will examine is ‘cooling’. Cooling therapies involve the application of cold to the body or specific areas to achieve therapeutic effects, such as reducing pain, limiting inflammation and supporting recovery. In this section, we will explore the various types of cooling methods.
