HOW COOLING WORKS

The secret to healing any soft tissue injury is in the R.I.C.E. 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

1. Tear open and remove Recover Ice from packaging and lightly squeeze out excess liquid. 2. Wrap Recover Ice bandage around muscle or joint, blue over yellow lines. 3. Tuck in the end of the Recover Ice bandage to secure. 4. Leave uncovered to allow evaporation to cool the wrapped area. For optimal results, leave Recover Ice on for at least one hour.
