I knwo alot abotu a working human body but when it comes to a broken one.. I'm lost.:unsure: :confused:
Yes heat is good for improving blood flow. However for joints since there is usually very little blood flow the ice helps with the inflamation and when taken off the area gives you a flood of blood flow. With muscles...after the initial 24 hours then heat is the way to go.
