Effective treatment with heat and cold

Thermotherapy uses the specific reactions of heat and cold to relieve pain and promote healing. This treatment method can be carried out with both heat applications and cold applications, known as cryotherapy.

Advantages of thermotherapy:

• Pain relief: Reduction of pain through targeted application of heat and cold.
• Promotes healing: supports the healing process by improving metabolism and blood circulation.
• Anti-inflammatory: Reduction of inflammation and swelling through targeted cold applications.

How does thermotherapy work?

Our experienced therapists at PhysioGEHRKEN use both heat and cold treatments to achieve the best possible results. The treatments include:

• Hot air: Hot air treatments stimulate blood circulation and increase the metabolism.
  This leads to an increased supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue.
• Fango: Mud packs are rich in minerals and support healing through deep warmth.
• Ice: Various ice applications such as ice packs, ice compresses, ice rubs or ice immersion baths are used to increase muscle activity and relieve pain.

Therapy goals:

• Pain relief: reduction of acute and chronic pain through targeted heat and cold applications.
• Anti-inflammatory: Reduction of inflammation and swelling through cold applications.
• Promotion of healing: Improvement of the metabolism and blood circulation through heat applications.

Areas of application of thermotherapy:

• Sports injuries
• Inflammatory processes
• Edema and congestion
• Chronic and acute pain
• Muscle tension and joint pain
