I do contrast showers all the time. WARM SHOWER TO COOL. Depending on what ur professionals say & what ur own body thermometer is accustom to. I am a TOS patient who develpoed RSD & FM so my personal regime is so off from the majority. When you end in warm then the muscles can move & the circulation begins to flow to the weakest areas. For me swelling increases in warm. I have to end in cool due to the Vascular & RSD swelling. It really does give me relief. So, see its crazy for me. Cold for this condition, warm for that condition, anything & everything for this condition. ahhhhhhhhhh! Its insane

His goal is to reach 20-25 degrees. we started out with the warm water at 85...
Thank you again!! for your support and understanding. I hate that someone else knows what I am going through, but I am also thankful I am not alone.  |
