Here's the full open-access article on PubMed Commons. TechRadar only linked to the regular PubMed site by accident.

Aside: "according to science" is like sandpaper rubbed against my brain.

That’s reassuring to see that heat is good for injury.

I swear it’s some sort of “proof of toughness” thing to hit yourself with cold after already straining yourself.

If you genuinely enjoy or prefer cold showers, by all means go for it. But hopefully this puts some of a clamp on those snake oil salesbags trying to make people feel bad for not doing things their way.
