Wait. Let's think about this before we throw ice on it...
A fresh injury doesn’t always need ice. Inflammation is the body’s first step in healing, and shutting it down too soon can slow recovery. When pain is manageable, gentle movement—like ankle circles or light calf raises—can boost circulation and help tissue repair faster.
Ice still has a place for pain or limping, but it’s not always the first move. Smarter recovery starts with understanding how the body heals.
