Thank you for the unbiased review. Gary Reinl, the creator of Marc Pro, claims to have debunked the RICE protocol for acute injuries, and of course, his invention is the solution. What do you recommend as current best practices/standard of care for, say, an acute ankle sprain? Do you think that the Marc Pro has merit there? TIA
Yes while it hasn't exactly been widely adopted, I think the broader community is rethinking RICE. I generally shy away from anti-inflammatories unless I have a pretty strong reason to use them e.g. undue swelling after a knee replacement, but not for a typical ankle sprain, and yes, that may be a place the Marc Pro has something to offer. Not sure how much it would 'accelerate' recovery, but it may help some after the acute inflammatory phase.
