At one time the acronym<\/span> RICE <\/span>was used<\/span> for treating injuries \u2013 Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.\u00a0 In <\/span>fact<\/span> research has now shown <\/span>this is not the best way to treat injuries. <\/span>Injuries<\/span> need to be kept moving. Actively moving an injured area encourage<\/span>s<\/span> blood flow and removal of by-products of healing reactions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not Rest \u2013 Move. Walk as soon as possible after an injury.<\/span> Light strength and agility exercises can start immediately<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not Ice<\/span>?<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>there are debates about using ice as it <\/span>may delay recovery by reducing oxygenation and inhibiting the inflammatory response needed for healing. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Compression can be used if you believe it works.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So probably the best way to remember what to do after an injury is MOVE:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Movement <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Options (cross-training) <\/span>– use different types of exercise, if it is a running injury maybe cycling to begin your rehab<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vary \u2013 rehab<\/span>ilitation including<\/span> strength, balance and agility, <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ease back to activity for emotional strength<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people feel frustrated that advice <\/span>changes<\/span> but better scanning and sampling techniques used in research enable us to improve recommendations to make sure you heal the best way possible. Medicine and healthcare <\/span>is<\/span> advancing all the time to provide better advice. Remember back pain used to be treated with bed rest, now we never recommend bed rest for back pain \u2013 movement is best for injuries.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
