The secret to healing any soft tissue injury is in the RICE
principle.
REST - Less physical activity and a lower heart rate reduces the likelihood
of further damage being caused to the injured area
ICE - Cooling results in the narrowing of blood vessels (vasoconstriction).
This restricts blood flow through the cooled area, resulting in a reduction of internal
bleeding and swelling
COMPRESSION - Applying a consistent pressure to the injured area prevents
blood from pooling, thus reducing swelling
ELEVATION - Raising the injured limb above the heart further reduces the
amount of swelling
