Heat or ice?
Hot pack or cold pack?
Hot compress or cold compress?
Heat therapy or ice packs?
Hot packs are great for relaxing tense muscles and increasing blood flow, which can help with chronic pain or stiffness. 🌡️
On the flip side, cold packs are your go-to for acute injuries like sprains or bruises. They reduce inflammation and numb the area, easing pain and swelling. ❄️
Remember, there's a time and place for each! 🕰️ When in doubt, start with ice for the first 48 hours after an injury to keep inflammation in check. Then, switch to heat for soothing relief and muscle relaxation.
