ABSTRACT:
A contrast therapy system. According to one aspect of the invention, the contrast therapy system includes a hot reservoir for holding a relatively hot fluid and a cold reservoir for holding a relatively cold fluid. The system also includes a mixing valve for receiving a selected ratio of the hot and cold fluids from the hot and cold reservoirs. The mixing valve is operable to deliver a therapy fluid with a therapy temperature determined by the selected ratio. The system also includes a therapy pad for receiving the therapy fluid from the mixing valve and returning the therapy fluid to at least one of the hot reservoir and the cold reservoir.
