Cold therapy aids in slowing circulation and metabolism to the injured area. The swelling that typically occurs is a result of the pooling of blood around the injury due to the trauma delivered to the cells and tissues. By applying cold therapy as soon as possible, you reduce the blood flow and swelling. This will mean less muscle spasm and less pain. Another essential part of cold therapy is compression. Compression is the practice of wrapping or bandaging the injured area of the body to give added support. A simple rule to follow for cold therapy is the R.I.C.E. rule: Rest - Stay off the injury; Ice - Apply cold therapy; Compression - Use a support wrap or plastic bandage; Elevation - Keep injury in a raised position.
