http://www.activerelease.com/ its a patented, copyrighted, trademarked way of treating injuries. in colorado, before back surgery, people are now required to try ART 1st and see if that gets rid of the problem before surgery.
not a fan of ice after the 1st 24 hours of initial injury. Eastern medicine and Osteopaths do not use ice. the ice constricts the tissue. if you live or have been anywhere were it's really cold, and you go outside without a jacket, you automatically stiffen up (or cold water). well, ice does that to the injured tissue, which is fine in the 1st 24 hours to keep swelling down. but after that, the stiffening prevents nutrients from getting into the tissue to heal. ive heard of people using ice on the same injury for years. well that tells me, the problem is still there........ you have to fix the problem and not treat the symptoms....
