      Ancient king fu utilises alot of message in certain areas, to affect a different part further down the line of blood flow. Inflammation is a way of the body protecting itself, except for in serious stagnation. Whereby there needs to be a release of pressure. It's funny, but even if you look up how your Magor arteries are placed and massage the bruise towards the end of the limbs. It can get rid of them in a literal amazing timeframe compared to normally leaving it and moving bit by bit as you are able.😮 And that's just scratching the surface of how these things can affect recovery time. Your welcome.🙏💪

      ​@bodystacker4847 I liked what he said about choosing ice before meds, I think I'd use that as my guideline. I'm doing PT for my knee and my PT ices it after we work it hard so it doesn't swell up on me, but only then. On my own he doesn't want me icing it; I'm supposed to stay within my pain free range so it doesn't swell after.

    I always thought it didn't make sense. But I did have an ankle injury once where I rolled it really bad on a round off on a spring floor and it caved in. I literally could not walk without crutches or drive home. I also got super nauseated and almost fainted near my toilet when I had to get up to pee during the night. I dunno if ice helped or hurt but that was extreme swelling. My foot clubbed and I couldn't do stuff for months. Made a full recovery tho. I quit gymnastics and picked up figure skating. Have had only a few minor sprains since

    The other 3 of the acronym are still relevant & valid: Rest, Compression & Elevation.
    Of course, these are to be used in moderation & are beneficial up to a point, in a certain time period.
    Like, early mobilisation is preferred; but in the hyper-acute/acute phase of the injury, the other 3 are valid & beneficial.

    Don't hate on ATCs. Quite a lot are moving away from ice as a treatment, but it's the mom/dad/guardian/over 30 crowd and their offspring that can't let go.
    There's a fine balance but inflammation is needed and so is movement (when no fracture is present).
    Ice is much better than devouring loads of NSAIDS and it does alleviate the brain from the pain.
    But spare the ice bags and wraps for soreness and move and roll out instead

    I had a 25kg weight fall on my ring and little finger whilst at the gym. It wasn't a significant height, but it was super painful. The blood pulled under my skin. I initially used ice, but because the pain became unbearable with the ice, I very quickly switched to warm water, which immediately calmed the area and also worked as pain relief. I stuck with heat from there on until it healed.

      Sometimes it doesn't stop before doing damage. It's just like a fever - a little is usually good, a lot can do damage, and your body doesn't always "know" when to stop.

  • @ivanmartin4155
    @ivanmartin4155 3 дні тому +3

    But if you remove the ice after a while, then there will be more heat in that area, because your body reacts to the cold with creating heat. Like when you jump in ice water and feel hot afterwards. That's actually why iceing injuries helps
