AB This  chapter  presents  information  regarding  those  modalities  that  rely  on  a  gradient-based  heat  exchange  that  alters  the  body's  physiology.  The  chapter  consists  of  two  sections,  cold  and  heat.  Each  section  describes  the  physics,  physiological  effects,  and  evidence  that  support  or  question  their  use.  Use  of  specific  thermal  modalities  and  their  unique  effects  are  described  in  the  next  chapter.
