Heal an Injury. Expedite Your Recovery.
Heat Therapy
Primarily applied to an area to relax muscles and increase flexibility. Heat therapy also increases blood flow to the area, allowing oxygen and nutrients to move through blood vessels, essential to the regrowth of damaged tissue.
Cold Therapy
A common treatment for soft tissue injuries by restricting blood flow to the area and reducing inflammation. Once the cold is removed circulation increases bringing new blood to the area, thereby expediting the healing process.
