R.I.C.E. therapy
The most common sports injuries are sprains and strains of muscles and tendons. Try a basic treatment with the mnemonic "R.I.C.E" for these injuries:
Rest
Stop the activity immediately. Continued stress can increase the damage done to the tissue.
Ice
Apply a Tensor™ Cold Compress.
Compressor
Apply compression with a Tensor™ Bandage. Compression helps to reduce swelling.
Elevation
Elevate the injured limb above the level of the heart to help drain excess fluid from the area.
