Apply Heat or Cold Therapy

Description

Temperature therapy can help soothe sore or stiff back muscles.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Heat: Apply a heating pad (on a low or medium setting) or a warm compress (like a towel soaked in warm water and wrung out) to the stiff or sore area of your back for 15-20 minutes. Heat helps relax muscles and increase blood flow.
2. Cold (for Acute Pain/Inflammation): If the pain feels sharp or potentially inflamed, apply a cold pack (ice pack wrapped in a thin towel) for 15-20 minutes. Cold helps reduce inflammation and numb pain.
3. Alternate heat and cold if helpful.
