Contrast thermal stimulation is a method that entails switching between hot and cold temperatures to induce physiological reactions in the body.

Contrast therapy, which involves alternating between hot and cold, is a common thermal intervention used by athletes to improve performance and recovery. It can help with: 

• Pain relief: The cold can numb pain receptors and relieve sore muscles and joints. 

• Faster recovery: The alternating hot and cold therapy can improve circulation and drainage, which can help muscles recover faster. 

• Improved joint mobility: Contrast therapy can help improve joint mobility. 

• Reduced inflammation: Contrast therapy can help reduce inflammation in the upper and lower limbs. 

• Improved blood circulation: Contrast therapy can help improve blood circulation throughout the body.
