Temperature Based Therapies

Moist Heat Therapy

Moist heat therapy uses warm, moist towels or heat packs to penetrate deep into tissues. This form of therapy can provide soothing relief for stiff muscles, joint pain, and chronic aches. 

Moist heat dilates blood vessels, improving circulation and delivering oxygen to the affected area, which promotes healing and reduces pain. It’s particularly effective for conditions like arthritis, muscle tension, and long-term injuries where stiffness is a concern. Moist heat is gentle and often more comfortable than dry heat, making it a preferred method for soothing sore muscles and easing discomfort.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy involves applying cold to the body to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. Whether through ice packs, cold compresses, or specialized cold treatments, cryotherapy slows down blood flow to the affected area, numbing pain and reducing swelling. 

This is especially beneficial for acute injuries like sprains, strains, and bruising. Cold therapy can also help manage chronic conditions like arthritis by temporarily relieving joint inflammation. For athletes and individuals recovering from injury, cryotherapy speeds up recovery and helps prevent further tissue damage.
