Clinical Massage Care offers Hot/Cold Contrast Therapy

This treatment is ideal for athletes or anyone who needs to stimulate the body’s systems and really get your blood pumping! With our hot/cold contrast therapy, we alternate between heated basalt stones followed by ice-chilled basalt stones in a deep rhythmic flow over the whole body. Your therapist may decide to use heated gel packs and cold gel packs as an alternative to the basalt stones if lesser temperatures and/or static placement is needed for the contrast therapy. Clinical Massage Care hot/cold contrast therapy leads the body into vasodilation (hot) and vasoconstriction (cold). This effect can aide in improving circulation, decreasing swelling and inflammation, and stimulating optimal internal organ function.
