Moist Heat & Cryotherapy (Ice)
Therapeutic heat and cold treatments used to reduce pain, manage inflammation, and support healing during different stages of recovery.
Targeted Pain Relief Through Heat and Cold Therapy
Moist heat and cryotherapy (ice) are commonly used physical therapy treatments that help manage pain, reduce inflammation, and support tissue healing. At Arise Physical Therapy, Rehab & Wellness in Grafton, WI, these modalities are applied strategically as part of a personalized treatment plan to improve comfort and recovery outcomes.
Moist heat therapy is typically used to relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce stiffness. It helps prepare tissues for movement, stretching, or therapeutic exercise by increasing blood flow and flexibility. Heat therapy is often beneficial for chronic pain, muscle tension, and joint stiffness.
Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is used to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain—especially during the early stages of injury or after more intense activity. Ice helps calm irritated tissues and manage post-treatment soreness, allowing patients to recover more comfortably.
Our physical therapists carefully determine when heat or ice is appropriate based on your condition, symptoms, and stage of healing. These treatments are often combined with manual therapy, exercise, and patient education to enhance overall results.
Our clinic is conveniently located at 1580 Harris Drive, Grafton, WI 53024, and we provide one-on-one care to ensure treatments are applied safely and effectively.
