Contrast Therapy and Recovery

When an injury makes movement difficult, contrast therapy may offer another way to stimulate the body during recovery.

Alternating between heat and cold causes the blood vessels to constrict and dilate, creating a cycle that can help stimulate the injured area. The goal is to mimic some of the effects of movement when you may not yet be able to move an injured ankle, knee, or other area comfortably.

Recovery isn't always about pushing through pain. Sometimes, it's about finding the right ways to support the body while it heals.
