First line therapy for strains and sprains.
Other names: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
Categories: Lifestyle
Description:
The RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a first-line treatment for a strain to reduce pain, swelling, and promote healing.
1. Rest 🛑
Avoid activities that cause pain or strain the muscles.
Gradually resume movement once pain decreases.
2. Ice ❄️
Apply ice packs for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours during the first 48 hours.
Helps reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation.
Wrap the ice in a thin towel to prevent frostbite.
3. Compression ⚡
Use a compression wrap, elastic bandage, or brace to reduce swelling and provide stability.
Avoid wrapping too tightly to maintain circulation.
4. Elevation 🛏️
Lie down and elevate the injured part with pillows to reduce swelling.
This is more effective for severe swelling but less critical for minor strains.
After 48 hours, gentle stretching and strengthening exercises can begin as pain allows. If pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention.
