DR. DAVE'S FITNESS FACTS

R.I.C.E.
by Dr. David Williams

Any time you suffer a musculoskeletal injury such as a muscle pull or a sprained ankle, remember the acronym RICE.

Rest the injured area — avoid movements that make it hurt worse.

Ice — ice the affected area for 20 minutes, 4-5 times per day.

Compression — wrapping the injury in an ACE bandage will help minimize swelling.

Elevation — Keeping the injury elevated will also minimize swelling.
