Whats wrong with R.I.C.E.?
R.I.C.E. is like a 911 call that never gets answered. Why? If you have a sprained ankle, there are all kinds of damage that need repair and R.I.C.E. does not respond to ANY of it. Basically, it just says rest and ice. But, ice is only effective for the first 36-48 hours and only helps contain swelling. Then, all that is really left is rest, which will NOT get rid of scar tissue, nor will it strengthen ligaments or stabilizer muscles, heal neuromuscular damage or improve overall mobility or functionality. And time is of the essence, because the longer you wait, the more scar tissue and adhesions will develop around your ankle joint inhibiting a full recovery.
