slazbob Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 just wondering, has anyone used a stress-ball while they do there hot and cold soaks? this was soooo...much better than making fists! my hands don't hurt as much anymore. and they were realily pumped.

FbaLLPlaya_53 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Great idea! I have to go get a stress ball and try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slazbob Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 i'm sure a firm sponge would work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianders1 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Are you doing this just for the hot potion of the contrast baths/soaks? I try not to move my hands much in the ice water because they get really stiff, but generally try to open and close them several times in the hot water. I'll have to give this a try next time...

slazbob Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 i do 3min. soaks in hot and cold. i use the stressball for 1min. in the rh. and 1min. in the left, then move my wrists for the last min. same for the cold. this way, that cold water really gets in those joints and sooths them.
