Hot or Cold Therapy? You hear contradicting views all the time as to when to apply heat or ice to nagging injuries. In many cases the answer should be both. Cold acts to reduce inflammation and swelling while heat serves to draw blood and nutrient for healing. Cold first on an injury, heat to follow for healing. In the case of soreness the process is reversed heat to warm connective tissue in joints and to reduce muscle spasm prior to training followed by ice after training if needed. Heat being the more complex application, how hot is too hot or is warm enough? I recommend using a product that I have been using for years with my running and triathlete clients. It’s called “Toast”, it comes in three degrees of heat from pre workout to acute injury applications. It’s the only product of its kind that we endorse or sell.
