Heat therapy and cold therapy

When heat therapy is used

By applying heat specifically to painful areas of the body, blood circulation is stimulated and muscle tension is loosened, which can relieve pain. Heat therapy can also be very beneficial for conditions such as stiff joints, arthritis, and physical limitations. For long-term relief of aches and symptoms, continuous application of heat may be advisable. However, this depends on the type of injury or (chronic) illness.

When you should use cold therapy

Therapists use cold to reduce inflammation and swelling. This type of therapy also helps relieve pain. The use of cold is particularly recommended for acute and temporary injuries, such as bruises, sprains, strains, and inflammation. For this reason, cold therapy, unlike heat therapy, is usually used temporarily to relieve acute injury pain.
