Hot and Cold Therapy

Discover Comfort and Relief with Physio Hot and Cold Therapy

What is Hot and Cold Therapy?

Hot and Cold Therapy is a versatile and proven method for addressing a variety of pain conditions and injuries. Including arthritis, sports injuries, and slipped disc.

This non-invasive treatment involves the application of heat or cold to affected areas to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing. It's a natural and drug-free solution to enhance your well-being.

How does Hot and Cold Therapy work?

Hot Therapy involves the application of heat to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and soothe discomfort. Cold Therapy, on the other hand, reduces inflammation and numbs the treated area, providing relief from pain. These contrasting therapies can be used alone or in combination, depending on your specific needs.

During your hot therapy, hot packs, warm compresses, or heat pads between the temperature of 40 to 45 degree celsius are applied to the targeted area. These can be wrapped or secured to ensure consistent and safe heat application.

During your cold therapy, ice packs or cold compresses between the temperature of 0 to 10 degree celsius are applied directly to the skin or wrapped in a thin cloth. It's essential to monitor the skin to prevent frostbite.
