Heat & Cold Therapies
Pain Control • Swelling Reduction • Muscle Relaxation
At Ukroots Ayurveda & Wellness Centre, Heat and Cold Therapies are an essential part of our physiotherapy programs, used to manage pain, reduce swelling, and ease muscle and joint stiffness. By applying controlled temperatures to specific areas of the body, these therapies help regulate blood flow, calm irritated tissues, and support the body’s natural recovery process.
These treatments are commonly used during injury recovery, chronic pain management, and post-therapy rehabilitation, always under professional physiotherapy guidance.
Understanding Heat & Cold Therapies in Physiotherapy
Temperature-based therapies work by influencing circulation and nerve response. Cold applications help settle inflammation and swelling, while heat applications encourage muscle relaxation and improve tissue flexibility.
At Ukroots, the choice between heat, cold, or a combination of both is based on your condition, pain level, and stage of healing. This ensures the therapy remains safe, effective, and supportive rather than aggravating symptoms.
How Heat & Cold Therapies Are Applied at Ukroots
Before starting, our physiotherapist evaluates:
- The type of pain or injury
- Presence of swelling or stiffness
- Tissue sensitivity
- Overall rehabilitation goals
Based on this assessment, the appropriate temperature therapy is selected and applied for a controlled duration to achieve optimal therapeutic benefits.
