Regarding icing again:
"Let me quote Dr. Nick DiNubile, Editor in Chief of The Physician And Sports Medicine Journal (physsportsmed.com) “Seriously, do you honestly believe that your body’s natural inflammatory response is a mistake?”
Well what does the research and literature say?
Ohhh, that last link was to a Kelly Starret video. He's the be all end all guy for Crossfitters. He is the reason why crossfitters have misinterpreted the idea of icing.
This is a terrible, generalized statement that a majority of physicians, both sports medicine docs and PHD physical therapists, would disagree with. As stated earlier, not every response the body makes is the correct one. One of the MAJOR studies surrounding why icing shouldn't be done was performed on people that simply lifted weights to mimic an inflammatory response. They were then iced down, and the results were counter productive. The other was showing how the synovia cooled and how that MIGHT have an impact down the road, but was not definitive.
Do you even work in the medical field? What are your credentials? I am assuming no, because you would see just how ridiculously generalized something like this is. These new studies and findings are NOT based on long time evidence either. They are simply using the acute and short term findings and making a theory about the results. Are you just another copy pasts brah?
Until you get us some long term, peer reviewed studies that show, without a reasonable doubt, that not icing improves recovery, then you're simply arguing with opinions.
