Have you ever had a pulled muscle or muscle strain that just won’t heal? And then when you think it has healed, you go and re-injure it again. All these things will increase the bleeding, swelling and pain of your injury. Avoid all movement and massage of the injured area. This includes heat lamps, heat creams, spas, Jacuzzi’s and saunas. It is much better to apply ice for 3 to 5 minutes a couple of time an hour, than not at all.Īvoid: During the first 72 hours after an injury, be sure to avoid any form of heat at the injury site. Obviously, there will be a slight discomfort from the cold, but as soon as pain or excessive discomfort is experienced, it is time to remove the ice. My personal recommendation is that people should apply ice for as long as it is comfortable.
The individual should make the decision as to how long the ice should stay on. For others, especially well conditioned athletes, they can leave ice on for up to an hour at a time. Personally, I recommend that people use their own judgment when applying ice to themselves.
