📢 New Research to Clinical Practice Series Issue: THE ICE CONUNDRUM 🧊🩹🧠⁠
⁠
Cold therapy has been a go-to modality since ancient Greece — but is it still the best choice for acute injury management? ❄️⁠
⁠
The October issue of Research to Clinical Practice takes a closer look at the evolving evidence on cryotherapy and its role in the healing process. Key takeaways include:⁠
🔹 Why inflammation is essential for tissue repair⁠
🔹 How immediate icing could delay the healing cascade⁠
🔹 The shift from RICE to PEACE & LOVE in acute care protocols⁠
🔹 What factors influence cooling effectiveness (subcutaneous tissue, body part, athlete level, and more)⁠
⁠
🎓 Reconsider how, when, and why you use ice — and make evidence-based decisions for your athletes’ recovery.⁠
