I have been following the ice or no ice debate for a few years. My general rule is - do what makes you feel better. But, the argument against using ice after a soft tissue injury (strain or sprain) is increasingly convincing. Contrary to intuition, there is little evidence to support ice as effective treatment for an acute injury. In fact, ice may actually delay healing. Though, it does often reduce pain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is an updated guideline, coming from a more holistic framework that replaces the old RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate) following injury. According to this guideline, the injured area should be protected and rested for 1-3 days with movement in the pain-free range resuming quickly and exercise emphasized. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think? Do ice and rest after injury feel second nature to you?

As many of you know, I love recommending hip extensions for low back pain.

Figure two can be done with or without a resistance band with hands planted on the wall or a chair and knees slightly bent.

This action encourages strong glutes and stable SI joints which can be key components of low back pain. And, done slowly while breathing, hip extensions send safety signals to the nervous system, changing the pain experience. 🙌

Hi wonderful people! You may have seen massage therapy placed in phase one of reopening on the Alberta website. This was a mistake. We are in phase two, which will be "no earlier than June 19th". Reopening also depends on the recommendations of our professional associations, availability of PPE, individual preparedness, and personal judgment. 💛💛
