How to HEAL FASTER

[michaelslifecycle]

This can’t be generalized for all injuries. There are some injuries where moving the body part is the last thing you want to do.

This is what I do, and I always recover faster than the typical stated times. By the day after an injury I start optional loading with isometrics using the injured body part as the limiter. I’m dealing with a high ankle sprain and am working to get back to hooping in 6 weeks as opposed to 8 to 12.

Ice is not advisable for sprain because of stretch muscle tissue, it will slow down the healing process. I have ankle sprain last week and now it already heals. 1week healing process only just take a rest, do not move your ankle in 2 days and in the third day start walking slowly and put hot compress and do not massage.

Screw the P.O.L.I.C.E, coming straight from the underground!

I sprained my ankle but was terrified to move it because of the pain and barely walked/moved/stretched on it for the first week. Now on week 3 and starting to feel better but still nowhere near recovered.

As soon as I started stretching it last week the swelling went away.

use a castor oil wrap with cotton pad, saran wrap and sock to get a faster pain n swelling reduction. worked for me!! within 1 hr after wrapping foot, was then able to place it flat on the floor. within 5 hrs, able to put pressure on the foot on the floor. the next day was able to put some weight on that foot. amazing stuff!

Everyone now knows ice should not be used as it slows recovery.

Thank you, i will definitely do that with my broken foot 😂

ICE is good when there's excessive swelling but slows it down after that point

I wish I knew this 23 years ago when I broke my ankle! LOL!

I've sprained my ankle so many times that it even makes a clicking sound when i keep it moving lol

[samuraistrike]

So basically (for muscle injuries only) Wrap it up and keep it protected, keep it moving, ice during excessive swelling, keep it compressed and elevated during rest periods. Pretty sure most people know this ngl

Thanks, I think I sprained my ankle and this has helped so far

[joyous]

When I had leg spiral fracture & also my ankle .. I was told not to ice it .. that’s per my ortho surgeon… had to keep in a boot until surgery

[crocoloco]

Ice, compression and elevation... Weren't those principles abandoned? Physio student here and I learned in school that you don't do those 3 anymore

Rather you start by mobilisation and adapted strength training, if there is no direct damage to the tissue

[woodbeard]

Most of the experts now say that the RICE thing is delaying the healing???

[andrewl]

Awesome!! You went to community college to be a physical therapist? I will choose this advice over my dr’s advice for my currently fractured tibia.

I gotta pay rent :/ cant afford to take time off

[Toorbap]

Step 1 train you tibialis
And you will most likely never get an enkle sprain

As soon as he said ice I knew he was wrong ICE DOES NOTHING FOR YOU
