Hydrotherapy Contrast Limb Basin Protocol
Hydrotherapy contrast limb basin protocol alternates warm and cool basins for arms or legs—local circulation recovery without full-body plunge gear.
Hydrotherapy contrast limb basin protocol alternates warm and cool water in two basins for arms or legs—often three to five minutes warm then one minute cool for three to four rounds per limb. It targets local circulation and stiffness without full-body plunge logistics.
Keep water temperatures tolerable, not scalding or ice-shock. Open wounds and acute sprains need clinician rules first.
End cool if morning training follows.
