HOT AND COLD TREATMENT
Either get two buckets or get one bucket and fill up a sink with ice cubes and water……. and another sink/bucket with hot water. (as hot as you can take it)
3 minutes of hot water immersion
1 minute cold water immersion
Do this for 20 minutes back and fourth between the hot and cold water for 5 rotations ending on the cold.
…Of course this is for extremities that would fit into such tubs or buckets.
