Don't RICE an injury!!!!

The R.I.C.E Protocol is a MYTH: A Review and Recommendations

In addition, the application of ice, or cryotherapy, has been found to not only delay recovery, but to also damage tissue in the process (9, 20, 27, 49). The evidence suggests that the application of ice is only necessary if pain reduction is the desired outcome (3, 8, 16, 19, 26). Evidence in support of compression and elevation is lacking, as most studies are inconclusive (4, 35, 51) and fail to establish definitive application guidelines that are supported by research. These findings, along with the public recant from Dr. Gabe Mirkin in 2015 (31), support the premise that the RICE protocol, which is a generally preferred method of immediate treatment for acute musculoskeletal injuries, is a myth.
