Should you ice or heat an injury?🧊🔥

There’s a lot of debate on this topic, and you might wonder which is the right choice!

According to science, ice can be helpful in the first 6 hours to reduce pain, but using it beyond that could actually slow down the healing process. So, when should you switch to heat or avoid both altogether?

It’s always best to ask a healthcare professional for personalized advice. If you're unsure, give us a call—we're here to help guide you through your recovery! 🙌
