After a serious injury, do not use heat in the first 48 hours-use ice. If you mildly re-injure the area after it has started to heal, do not use heat until the new re-injury has stabilized. Wait 4 to 48 hours depending on the severity of the re-injury. If you have a lot of swelling and pain, don't use heat.
Quite often my clients ask me if they should use a hot or cold compress on their specific injury. Allow me to explain the difference between the two. Hot Compress: Also known as heat therapy. Use a hot compress or heat pack to relief chronic pain to an injury without swelling or inflammation.
