Ice is better for inflammation but, warmth is soothing for muscles and arthritic joints. I did bathe in actual Hot Springs in the Yellowstone River. In the river, there are hot springs that empty right in to it. If you know right where they are, they are quite soothing.

I also use a hot tub which is also quite soothing. Anything that helps us spiney's alleviate a little pain in our lives is worth a try.
