When it comes to healing an injury is it better to use ice or heat?

The purpose of using either ice or heat is to increase blood flow to the injury and bring in healing 'cells' to the injured area to speed up healing. Heat works by stimulating sensors in blood vessels that open them up to increase blood flow. If you apply heat for 30 minutes, it takes a few minutes for the sensors to respond. As soon as you remove the heat, your treatment is over. In addition, heat may damage the already damaged blood vessel walls by increasing swelling.
When cold is applied, on the other hand, it takes a few minutes for it to affect the blood vessel's sensors by again increasing blood flow. You know this happens because when you remove the ice, what color is your skin? Red - a sure sign that blood is indeed rushing into the area. When you remove the ice it takes a substantial amount of time for the sensors to return to normal, so for a 20-minute ice application, you might get 40 minutes worth of treatment. In addition, cold does not damage the blood vessel walls and therefore does not increase swelling. Therefore more and more experts recommend ice as the treatment of choice for immediate care of an injury. Apply for approximately 20 minutes, 3 times per day.
So when, if ever, should you place heat on an injury? While you may have heard that switching to heat about 48 hours after you've been injured will improve range of motion and ease the pain, experts say this isn't so. Ice is still a better choice because of longer increased blood flow per treatment time and reduced risk of swelling. Get more range of motion by moving the joint - not heating it. Besides, if the offending area is inflamed, heating it up could actually delay healing.

All sports massage sessions include 20 minutes of cold therapy or heat therapy if desired as long as it's not contraindicated.
 

Are you in good hands? "Pointers for the spa savvy"

Some things to keep in mind to ensure that you are in good hands!
How can you tell whether your massage therapist is qualified? “Make sure he or she graduated from an accredited school, is a member of some professional organization and is licensed,” says Mary Beth Braun, president of the American Massage Therapy Association. Thirty-Five states and the District of Columbia give licenses; elsewhere, ask the therapist whether he or she is certified nationally. In the state of Florida it is preliminary for one to pass the national examination before obtaining their Florida license. Even with a licensed therapist, heed your instincts. “If he or she doesn’t leave the room when you’re changing or doesn’t cover you with a sheet, towel or both, those should be red flags,” Babel says. “The therapist should tell you to take off as much clothing as you feel ok with.”
IMPORTANT!
On your next spa visit keep in mind Florida law requires massage therapists to have their license conspicuously posted in the room in which they work out of. If you do not see a license, don’t just take their word for it that they are licensed! Ask to see it or verify their status with their first and last name by visiting http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/irm00praes/praslist.asp

Workplace massage, both table and chair, is a growing trend at some of the most highly regarded companies.  Studies clearly show that if employees are healthy, they’ll use less in health insurance benefits and be more productive.
