What are the benefits of icing?
Icing is one of the simplest, safest, and most effective self care techniques for injury, pain, or discomfort in muscles and joints. After workouts, icing will greatly decrease muscle spasms, pain, and inflammation to bone and soft tissue. You can use ice initially at the site of discomfort, pain, or injury. You can also apply ice in later stages for rehabilitation of injuries or chronic (long-term) problems.
