TRAIN DIFFERENT: During a break in some wicked pickleball playing, my dude, JB asked me about icing, ice immersion etc. I said the latest controversy is that ice should NOT be used. I have read numerous articles, researched, and it seems to me that the authors are addressing its limited impact on healing.
HOWEVER, ice in our field was NEVER seen as a 'cure' to heal. It was to reduce swelling, decrease pain to the athlete, so once the ice ⛄️has done its job, THEN we can determine the damage through joint/functional assessment and design a protocol for 'healing👍👍' and return to action. Some times xray/MRI is indicated.
SUMMARY: 🌬Use ice to decrease pain/swelling. DO NOT use as a replacement for a proper evaluation for the extent of damage. BELOW is my cryocup I use for cryomassage(and other tools I use to keep my athletes in play mode!} I use to soothe an old Judo injury that can show up during a wicked game of pickleball! Been using this since the 90's 😳very effective, BUT I use my own treatment strategies that I have used on my patients/clients for over 3 decades🤓 to ensure functional stability/strength. But if the load is excessive and constant, I know I will need this. PRO TIP: fill a dixie cup with H2O. Put in freezer🥶When need a body part cooled off {usually joint-tendon}, tear off bottom and B O O M! you good to go by RUBBING ice over site. No more than 5 min or till numb CAUTION: This is not for triage!!! This is for joint muscle inflammation that can occur from, you know pickleball😁, tennis, basketball,soccer, intense complexes in the gym and you 'tweak' a body part, I love using this. For acute cases where disability and pain are severe enough to make you go "hold up, DAMN. I said HOLD UP!!😣" Seek professional medical attention. {legal said to say stuff like this😉}
MIC DROP!!.😁
