R.I.C.E

The R.I.C.E Method
~Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.~

At-home treatment for minor sprains and strains of muscles and joints.
. Rest and protect an injured or sore area.
. Ice the affected area to reduce pain and swelling.
. Compress or wrap the injured or sore area with an elastic bandage to
decrease swelling.
. Elevate the injured area while applying ice and when you are sitting or
resting.

*I just came across this on the Icy Hot website that is really good to know.*
