I agree it's a good idea to avoid any anti-inflammatory medications after an injury including the ointments. I have found that these have made me feel better in the short-term but actually worse in the long term whereas for me using ice has been a game changer. I even used it on a tooth problem and managed to avoid having a tooth taken out though I hasten to add that you should never put ice inside your mouth you put it onto your cheek for a toothache. I have had the odd ice burn but have always recovered quickly from these. I only use ice for up to two days after an injury. I have found that it is okay to put ice directly onto skin but you have to keep moving it and only do it for a short period of time. In my experience ice has speeded up healing. I have also found the converse to be true that using heat after an injury can make it a lot worse. It would be interesting to watch a video on the topic of how to increase one's protein level. I am aware that a lot of the protein powders that are available can be toxic and that it's not just about eating more protein but having the right combination of amino acids in the foods that one eats if one is vegetarian.

Yes, getting enough protein when vegetarian can be tricky - a nutritionist or dietician will be better placed to help you with that.

Thanks again for this yet another useful and professional video! Do you possibly have a similar video concerning the regular use of moderate heat as a prophylactic way to loosen one's muscles? I've got used to gently press, rub and massage the muscles of my back (from neck/shoulders down to the glutes) against a warm bathroom wall heater/radiator (made up of several horizontal water pipes) for some 30 minutes daily, even if I don't have any particular or aching muscular condition. It gives me a very good sensation and feel so much relaxed afterwards. Sometimes I ask myself if it's good for my health in the long run getting "addicted" to this kind of prophylactic thermal therapy. Looking forward hearing from you soon! Thanks again!

Hi there, Thanks for sharing! Here's what we know about heat vs. ice. It's focused on injuries, but hopefully you'll find some of the info useful. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8Vpms2Xy52tc4k.html

Great explanation. My partner used ice on her knee while working on line and unfortunately time flew to over an hour and it was only the sharp pain that made her realise she over done it. I hope she didn't do any damage. Please let me know if there are any consequences?
@SportsInjuryPhysio6 ай бұрын
I really can't answer this because I've not checked her knee - if it feels fine now, then it is likely OK. But if she is worried about it and it doesn't feel the same as before the icing session, then it might be best to consult a doctor and have it checked.
@Godofhellfire696 ай бұрын
Thank you for your reply. Luckily her knee is fine and I think she learned not to get caught up on line while icing her knee. @@SportsInjuryPhysio

Can I put in a request? I'd love to know kind of shoes you guy's like would recommend, and for varied sports. It's getting hard to know what shoe is really meant for what and the versions in each. Personally I have the odd ball narrow foot with very long toes. I'm a big time supinator with rather flat feet uses a lot of lateral movements and toe splay. Not seeking feedback for this, just wanting to mention how different feet can really be.

This is basically a call for help and I pray I find a solution as soon as possible. please read 🙏. I’m 16 years old and almost 2 years ago I developed left shoulder pain. Didn’t think anything of it and kept lifting. Over the 2 years I have now developed knee, ankle, both shoulders, and both elbow pain. Those joints I mentioned click and are sort of crunchy. I can do everything a normal person would do, but it causes pain even when resting after doing activity. I don’t know if this is osteoarthritis since none of my family members have it. I also have crunchy wrists and my hips click, but don’t have pain in those 2 areas. I can think of times I might have injured some joints I mentioned that hurt me, but not sure if it’s that or a disease such as arthritis or osteoarthritis. Any help is appreciated.

The best thing to do is go and see a physiotherapist who can assess it for you and then give you a proper diagnosis.

V.interesting. Post ACL replacement, it was recommended that I should use a cold therapy machine. I can't remember the suggested dosage but it was quite a lot and for a few weeks, even though I had very little pain. What do you think of these, and importantly, what dosage would you prescribe?
@SportsInjuryPhysio Жыл бұрын
I've never worked in a place where patients had access to cold therapy machines so I can't really say. I know the knee is often prone to excessive scarring if the it remains super swollen after surgery but it is something that I would only employ if the patient needs it. I'm not up to date with the research for ACL surgery so can't offer any stats for recovery using routine icing vs. not.

Thanks for the video. I strained my hamstring twice in last 3 months, last time 6 weeks ago. Should I still use ice on it r times a day as well as heat. Thanks
@SportsInjuryPhysio Жыл бұрын
No, at this point doing your rehab is the most important thing. Ice and heat won't add much to recovery at 6 weeks.

I've been soaking my right foot in a tub of iced water (2 mins) followed by lukewarm (2 mins)for a total of 12 mins for an insertional achilles tendinopathy for a couple of months now. Do you think this is helpful for my injury? Even though I'm feeling better my heelbone (I think mainly to do with the fact I've been using orhtotics/insole which raises my foot and protects my heelbone) hasn't healed properly yet (it's been almost 3 months).
