I read a recent article in Advance (Dec 5, 2005, Vol 16 No.26) which had an interesting article on the use of hot and cold therapy to treat conditions such as an ankle sprain or achilles tendonitis. What they found was that the recovery time was a lot faster with utilizing the duo modalities. Just wondering if anyone else had thoughts on this?

I often utilize duo modalities as well. I utilize heat prior to treatment ie. s/p RCR to help promote blood flow and healing and to assist in increasing tissue pliability. I then utilize cold after treatment to help assist in decreasing tissue irritability and pain.
