Respectfully mate, it’s not. The physiology of what ice does to injured tissue is almost the opposite of what needs to happen to heal most optimally. Your experience is valid, but doing things that feed into what your body is already trying to do, rather than impede things, should hasten your recovery even more that you feel ice does now.
Does this change your thinking? Or are you already across this?
I’m curious how icing affects chronic injuries when they’re at baseline and would flare-ups of them be treated as an acute injury?
Answered: once & for all! Great to get reconfirmed & explained fully. Thanks, Grant!
Glad it resonated!
ice helps a lot for tendon flare ups and excessive inflammation, otherwise im not a fan.
You are 100% wrong. How can you explain that when i do icing on my sprained ankle i can walk a lot faster and get back to my normal sports
