Treating Workout Injuries
RICE Method
Injuries are inevitable, but how you handle them can make a difference. The RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a widely recognized approach to manage injuries and prevent them from worsening. Rest the injured area, apply ice to reduce swelling, use a compression bandage for added support, and elevate the injured part if possible.
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Medications
In case of pain and inflammation from an injury, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen can provide relief. However, consult with your doctor before using them, especially if you take other medications or have underlying medical conditions.
