Ice or heat to treat your injury/muscle pain??

Ice or heat? This is a MUST read.

You know that moment when you are exercising, be it walking your dog or jogging along, and then…eeek, you’ve pulled a muscle!

How do you know if you should apply ice or heat to reduce your pain?!

Great question and one my client asked me about the other day when she pulled a muscle in her calf playing netball. Just as she was about to apply the heat pack, she text me first to double check – and good job she did!

Here is an interesting article to help you with this common dilemma. In simple terms, ice is for injuries and heat is for muscles. Roughly.

So before you do anything, make sure you are informed and always seek help from your healthcare professional.
