An excellent article on why ICING an injury can delay healing and how old habits die hard. While swelling looks alarming, it is an indication of cellular movement--the mobilization of healing cells. To stop the swell is to stop the motion of the cells coming in to repair the injury. Read up and then read the original article Why Ice and Anti-Inflammatory Medication is Not the Answer. (Ill save my commentary on the difference between exercise and movement when it comes to essential loads for injured tissue for later.) Cells need MOVEMENT for context! #MoveYourDNA Katy Bowman
