🧊 Think ice speeds up healing? Think again. 🧊
While ice can numb pain and reduce initial swelling, it doesn’t actually help the body heal faster. In fact, overusing ice may slow down the natural healing process by constricting blood flow, limiting oxygen, immune cells, and nutrients needed for repair.
✅️ Your body needs inflammation (in the right amount!) to start healing.
💪 Movement, circulation, and gentle hands-on care support recovery far more than freezing everything in place.
✨ Consider alternatives like osteopathic treatment, active recovery, and rest that work with your body’s healing, not against it.
