To ice or not to ice? Most athletes are probably familiar with the acronym RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). Or at least the idea that if you experience pain or swelling you should put ice on it. Well, we were wrong. Kelly Starrett from MobilityWOD.com debunks another ancient myth. The problem with icing is that it is only a short-term solution and prevents the body’s normal cellular and vascular response to injury. Icing accomplishes this through numbness, which essentially halts the body’s recovery process. Fortunately, we now have a new acronym, courtesy of KStarr – MCE (Move safely, Compress, Elevate).
