🧊 Ice or Heat? Here’s How to Choose!

Both ice 🧊 and heat 🔥 can help relieve pain — but they work in different ways! Knowing when to use each can make a big difference in your recovery and comfort.

💙 Use ICE for:
* New injuries (within 48 hours)
* Swelling or inflammation
* Redness or warmth in a joint
➡️ Think: “Ice it when it’s swollen.”

❤️ Use HEAT for:
* Tight or sore muscles
* Chronic stiffness
* Relaxing before activity or stretching
➡️ Think: “Heat it when it’s tight.”

At Thomas & Pennington Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we’re here to help you recover safely and move comfortably — no matter what your injury or condition.

😴 Sleeping After Shoulder Surgery: Tips for a Better Night’s Rest

Recovering from shoulder surgery? Getting good sleep can be one of the toughest parts — but it’s also one of the most important for healing! 💪🩺
Here are a few tips from Thomas & Pennington Orthopedics & Sports Medicine to help you rest easier:

🛌 1. Sleep in a reclined position.�Many patients find it more comfortable to sleep in a recliner or propped up on pillows. This helps reduce swelling and prevents rolling onto your healing shoulder.
💤 2. Support your arm.�Use a small pillow under your elbow or arm to keep it stable and relieve pressure on your shoulder joint.
🧊 3. Ice before bed.�Applying ice (as directed) can help manage pain and inflammation, making it easier to fall asleep.
🕒 4. Stick to your medication schedule.�Taking your prescribed pain medication before bedtime can help you rest through the night.
⏳ 5. Be patient.�Discomfort while sleeping is normal early on — but as your shoulder heals and mobility improves, your sleep will too.

Remember: healing happens when you rest. 💤

�If sleep issues persist, reach out to your care team — we’re here to help you recover comfortably and safely. 💙

🔥 Here’s a fitness fact that surprises a lot of people:

�Your muscles don’t grow stronger during your workout… they grow stronger during recovery! 💤💪

When you exercise, you create tiny micro-tears in your muscle fibers. During rest and recovery, your body repairs those fibers — making them stronger and more resilient than before. 🦾

That’s why recovery is just as important as training.�
✅ Get enough quality sleep
�✅ Stay hydrated�
✅ Fuel your body with protein and nutrients�
✅ Take rest days seriously — your body needs them!

Whether you’re an athlete, weekend warrior, or recovering from an injury, remember: progress happens when you give your body time to rebuild.
