Hot 🔥 or Cold 🥶 Therapy
Knowing when to use hot or cold therapy impacts recovery. Usually, start with cold to reduce swelling and pain, then switch to heat to soothe stiffness and promote healing. Additionally cold relieves nerve pain, heat alleviates muscle discomfort. For contrast baths, alternate warm (5 min) and cold (1 min) waters to ease pain, reduce swelling, and speed recovery.

No 4. must have items :Pain relief rubs/gels
Deep Heat - good value
Deep Freeze - good value
Tiger Balm Red and White - only need to use small amount at a time.
Biofreeze - my favourite
