Description

What is contrasting(Hot & Cold Therapy) particularly good for? (If anything?) Experimenting with contrasting should be standard part of rehab from many musculoskeletal injuries, but especially repetitive strain injuries in the extremities. Repetitive strain injuries often need far more rest to recover from than people realize, and any technique for stimulating tissue without stressing it is valuable. Contrasting is also much easier and more practical and effective to apply to the limbs, so the best common candidates for contrasting are: Plantar fasciitis, Shin splints, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis. Knees are a little trickier, but still easy enough to contrast with a little creativity, so two more good candidates are the runner s knee conditions, iliotibial band syndrome and patellofemoral syndrome.Ligament sprains are very slow healing, and often become chronically painful, long after it seems like they should have healed. Although it s doubtful that contrasting will "accelerate healing" from a sprain, it may be worth doing it anyway - after the initial swelling has died down - for the hope of some minor benefits.
