Blood flow Quote by Ryan Robert
““Alternating heat and ice promotes healing by helping to take the swelling out of inflamed muscles or tendons with ice, while heat helps to increase blood flow to move acid out and bring blood in. The cold/hot regimen essentially “pumps” the small blood vessels by opening and closing them to decrease swelling and inflammation.””
