Heat therapy, or thermotherapy, involves applying warmth to an area to increase blood flow, relax muscles, and alleviate pain and stiffness, making it ideal for chronic conditions and muscle tension. Cold therapy, or cryotherapy, involves applying cold to reduce inflammation, numb pain, and constrict blood vessels, which is particularly effective for acute injuries, swelling, and bruising. Each therapy should be applied appropriately to avoid tissue damage or exacerbating the condition.
