After you finish doing exercise you are really tired
and injured sometimes, and that it's normal, but then to treat the
pain, what should you do? there are 2 things you can do.
The first one is cold
therapy, or cryotherapy, it is usually recommended right after you finish doing
your workouts or when you are hurt, to heal the injury (like a severe bruise or
sprain). the RICE sequence- rest, ice, compression and elevation- helps reduce
the pain and inflammation of the injury. It loses efficacy a day after or so,
and then there is when heat comes.
Both heat and cold can help to heal the
injury, you can use both separately or together, for example you first put ice
on the injury and you follow RICE and a day after you put heat in the injury.
The researchers concluded that both heat and cold are effective in reducing
muscle damage, but cold used immediately after exercise or 24 hours later was
superior in reducing pain, and heat takes longer to reduce it, but it stills works
to reduce it or heal it.
Questions:
1- Which way do you like better? Why?
2-What do you usually do to heal and injury? Have you ever use heat or ice to heal it?

1-I like more the first one because I had tried the 2 and the one that better worked and make easier the injurie was the first one because I think the best way to cure something is putting a lot of ice.
ReplyDelete2-I usually do the 1 one of using ice, all the time I use that because I think its the best one.
ReplyDelete1. I would like to heal my injure by ice(cold) because that will heal the injure way faster, and it works better. May be you can healo by heat, but if you are going to heal your injure by heat, you need more time.
ReplyDelete2. I always use ice to heal my injure, because that was the only way i knew. I didnt know that you can heal your injure by heat. But i think even i knew that you can heal your injure by heat, i think i used ice to heal. May be in winter i may use heat because it is really cold out, but still, ice is the way i used before, and the one i am used to it.
