Cold vs Heat Therapy: 

Both heat and cold therapy have their benefits in treating pain, but their effectiveness depends on the type of injury or pain you’re experiencing.

Apply heat for muscle and soft tissue pain and tightness. Heat improves circulation and blood flow, can soothe discomfort and increase flexibility in a specific area due to increased temperature.
