REboudn vasodlation folowing cold application . to preserve tissue viabiity and prevent tissues form falling below a critical temrpature. This is a reqarming phenomeno or recctiv ehyepremia. It shoud be ntoed that hte early int hpost injury period whre ther is atendicny to bleed due to vascualr disrupiton, follwoing cold therapy, ther area shoud always be elvsated and compress with some form of compressive deveis to prevent psot cryotherapy swelling due to the reobund vasodiation

How long should one utilize cryhothearpy befoer intiating heat therapy
|
Heat should never be used in situation which may produce more bleeding/hemorrhage sucha s for th first couple days following an injury. Ont hte other hand, beacuse osoof the dedep penetarting pwer of codl and the reslutign vasodiation whcih occurs folowing cold erhapy, some practitioners may not go to typical heat applications at all and get the same healing benefits of deep vasodlation form applcation fo cold

This comined , alternating use of cold nad heat during the same treatment seesion. Dep;ending on the tprotocol you mjay start with cold and end withcold or insome instance, start with ocld and end with heaqt. the times may be 1-2 minute scold nad 4-6 minutes heat. When completing one pahse ie. cold the estremity is immediatley subemerged nthe heat for the apporiate tim. Whem doe wit he heat, the extemity is immediatley submertd in thcold. This is done with alternating cold and heat ro 30-45 minutes. theistnes ot proce a contricitondialtion consticiton dilatin acgtivty whic may produce a miking actgion on post traumtic edma and owudl hterfor be appropriat eouse insituation involving selling due to rauma.
