“Chris was able to see the whole picture and
notice that I had  pronated Feet that was the
root of my knee pain.”

When To Use
 Use Ice after an acute injury, such
as an ankle sprain, or after activities
that irritate a chronic injury, such as
shin splints.
 Use heat before activities that irritate
chronic injuries such as muscle strains.
Heat can help loosen tissues and relax
injured areas.


How To Do It
 Read through the information on
how to ice an injury. There are
several ways to ice an injury.
 Heating pads or hot wet towels are
both excellent methods. Place a
washcloth under hot tap water and
then apply to the injured area.


For How Long
 Apply ice treatments for no longer
than 20 minutes at a time. Too much
ice can do harm, even cause
frostbite; more ice application does
not mean more relief.
 It is not necessary to apply a heat
treatment for more than about 20
minutes at a time. Never apply heat
while sleeping.
