Why does a warm bath, jacuzzi, hot shower feel better on my tired sore,muscles (body) then ice or cold water. My legs after a hard run or bike just seem to feel better after being submerged in warm/hot bath or under a nice hard warm/hot shower later on in the day then if I had iced them. Also my performance ( No matter how slow I am on this forum.) is better if I take a nice hot shower before a race. I know ice baths are supposed to be the best after a work out. But it seems hot baths / shower work best for me. Am I alone in this or does anyone else feel better after a hot bath/shower then if they iced ?
