Heat energy is transferred by conduction from the muscle to the cold pack.
because otherwise it ll be cold and ur house could go cold, damp, and horrible
Temperature is an indicator of heat or cold. Cold is the absence of heat.
cold objects do have heat energy.
No, cold sinks and heat rises.
Heat is for therapy, cold is for swelling. If you have a swollen finger you should use ice, you should check with your doctor if the swelling doesn't go down.
Heat for tired cold for swollen heat or cold for sore, let your gut tell you on that one.

No, and it could make it worse. Heat should not be applied to anything swollen. Swelling is usually helped by cold, not heat. But if it is your tonsils, you may need to find out if you need to have them removed.
A cold compress is good for swollen tissues. For tired muscles the best thing is heat or massage.
Cold - ice or an icepak will reduce swelling. Heat packs should not be used until the tissues have regained normal skin temperature, which usually takes 2 or 3 days.
I have just learned that if you have an infection you should NOT use heat. The reason being is that it draws the infection out, and encourages it to spread. Cold is the way to go if you are going to use a compress (although it may be difficult. I know that a warm compress has helped me more than a cold compress.)
Muscle movement produces heat which will increase your body temperature.
Id recommend cold, as it reduces swelling.
you ice it and heat it do a lot of stretching
Because heat expands and cold contracts. Like putting ice on a swollen ankle.....
