What are the benefits of icing/cold compression therapy?
Ice therapy is one of the simplest, safest, and most effective self-care techniques for injury, pain, or discomfort in muscles and joints. Cold therapy decreases swelling and inflammation, speeds recovery time, and provides pain relief for acute injuries (those occurring within 48 hours). For additional information on when to use heat and when to use ice, please visit the Moji educational article, Heat vs. Ice on our website.
