One more reason why "put some ice on it" is terrible advice.
Any thoughts on foam rolling, massage, Thera Gun type stimulus or the like combined with/during a sauna. Once the deeper muscle temperature increases (15-20 minutes) might beneficial effects of massage be amplified?
All great recovery tools and probably better when you’re warm and loose!
This is a neat finding. I often recommend heat over ice in the clinic. And now there’s some science behind it.
Are there any studies looking at heat vs ice for orthopedic post-operative care?
There may be but I’m not aware. Sorry!
