Hot & Cold Therapy for Injuries
The acronym R.I.C.E. is often used to remember the four basic methods
of speeding injury recovery:
 | Rest: The injured body part should be immobilized for 3 to 6
days. |
| Ice: This is the best method for soft-tissue injuries, to reduce
swelling, bleeding, spasms and pain. Apply within 24 hours of injury, using
the 20-50 rule of 20 minutes on, 50 minutes off. With our CorPak™, you can
both ice and heat. To activate, you simply chill in the freezer or heat in
the microwave. CorPaks also feature a soft “frost free” surface that
protects your skin and non-toxic gel that’s biodegradable. |
| Compression: For a severe injury, immediate compression
(pressure) is important to decrease bleeding and keep fluids from pooling in
the area. Compression should be continued throughout the day and removed at
night. The adjustable strapping on our CorPaks makes it easy to ice and
compress simultaneously |
| Elevation: Elevating the injured area above the heart helps
reduce internal bleeding and swelling. |
