Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I apply hot or cold therapy for best results? + –

Most healthcare professionals suggest 15–20 minutes at a time, several times daily, for targeted relief. Applying cold too long can risk skin damage or numbness; similarly, extended heat sessions may cause redness or overheating. Short, consistent intervals help reduce swelling, soothe sore muscles, and improve circulation without irritating tissues.

Does cold therapy actually speed up post-surgery recovery? + –

Yes, cold therapy often reduces post-op swelling and discomfort by constricting blood vessels and numbing painful areas. This helps you regain motion faster and tolerate physical therapy with less inflammation. Always follow your surgeon’s guidelines for how frequently and how long you should apply cold therapy.

Is hot or cold therapy better for stiff joints? + –

It depends on the cause. Heat loosens tight muscles and joints, making it great before exercise or stretching. Cold therapy is better if your joint is inflamed or swollen. Many people alternate hot and cold treatments (contrast therapy) to reduce both stiffness and swelling – especially after intense workouts or flare-ups.

Which device is best for both hot and cold treatments at home? + –

A machine that supports dual modes, like the Brace Direct IcedHeat Therapy Machine, is ideal. It circulates chilled or heated water through a universal pad, delivering consistent temperature and covering a variety of body regions.

Can hot & cold therapy prevent injuries for athletes? + –

While it won’t guarantee zero injuries, consistent hot and cold therapy helps minimize muscle tightness and reduces swelling after strenuous workouts. Athletes often use cold therapy on acute soreness or strain, and heat therapy to maintain tissue flexibility before training. This balanced approach supports faster recovery and can reduce risk of overuse injuries.
