Vascular and Systemic Effects Achieves superficial skin temperatures comparable to traditional icing with lower risk of cold-induced tissue injury. Rebound vasodilation after cold air may persist up to ~60 minutes, compared to ~30 minutes after icing (Korman et al., 2012). Can elicit contralateral effects – temperature changes in the non-treated limb, indicating a systemic reflex […]
