I'm a bodyworker specializing in sports medicine. One of my teachers, who also does sports med for high school athletes, does this:
10-15 minute soak in cold cold water after a workout, then soak warm/hot.
The cold flushes your vascular system to get the lactic acid out, the heat brings in the blood to get the muscle repair going.
His kids have zero soreness doing this.
