But now for the first time, researchers have found a hormone produced by inflamed tissue that could help heal damaged muscle. This discovery turns the conventional wisdom that swelling must be controlled to encourage healing, on itâs head. Putting ice on an injury may prevent healing according to scientists. And these findings could lead to new therapies for acute muscle injuries caused by trauma, chemicals, infections, freeze damage, and exposure to medications which cause muscle damage as a side effect.
Other experts believe that stretching should be done both before and after. The important aspect of stretching is that you do it at some point when your muscles are warm and that you practice good form. Icing is an essential component of the best exercise recovery practices. Icing is especially important after hard workouts, but if you have time you should really ice after every workout. Apply ice to your legs (or other muscle groups used) with an ice pack or bag of ice. Icing can facilitate injury prevention by reducing inflammation in the body before it causes tissue damage. If you engage in high impact exercise, such as running or dancing; you should ice for 15 to 20 minutes after each session.
