Remote Health Care

If you are active, you will eventually run into a minor injury. Sprains, strains and tears, and bruises happen to even the most cautious of us.
We can do our best to prevent injuries, such as warming up, stretching and rest area between workouts, but if preventive measures fail, do not forget, this abbreviation:
R.I.C.E.
R-Rest
Take time out of your workouts, so that the injury time to heal. Working on an injury slows the healing process progress, adding that pain and damage. I-Ice
Putting ice on an injury immediately after it happens, the swelling. Swelling actually caused more pain. Do not open ice or ice pack directly on your skin. They give themselves Frost Bite! Instead, cover the ice pack or a cloth. Hold for about 10-15 minutes. Repeat every few hours. I know it is fun, but a bag of frozen peas or carrots or works pretty well too!
C-compression
Bandages to put pressure on an injury also helps reduce swelling. If you scrapped your knee or elbow, compression also stops bleeding. Make sure it is not too tight. If you begin to feel numb or tingly, it is best to solve your bandages a little!
E-Elevation
If you have an injury, swelling is confirmed by additional fluid trapped around the area that hurts. Improve your injuries above the level of your heart. This will help to drain fluids and relieve pain.
The rice technology is a very basic guideline for the Do-it-yourself treatment for minor injuries. If you suffer from diabetes, circulatory disorders, or sensitivity to cold RICE perhaps not the right treatment for you.
If you have pain, that more than a few days, or bleeding that does not stop go to your doctor immediately!
