Not sure when to use ice vs. heat? ❄️🔥

Ice is your go-to for migraines or brand-new injuries like sprains and strains—it reduces swelling and numbs pain. Heat works best for chronic pain, muscle relaxation, and prepping for activity by increasing blood flow.

Both should be applied for 10–20 minutes at a time with proper barriers to avoid skin damage. If you have any questions, you can always call us for more guidance.

How well are you sleeping? 💤
