Hi welcome to another video. In this video I'm going to share with you ice therapy or
cryotherapy. I'm going to show you how to release your pain with ice on/with elbow tendonitis
or golfer's elbow or if you play a lot of baseball from pitching and throwing, pain
on the bottom part of your arm.
So what ice therapy or cryotherapy does to you? When you massage the area with the ice,
it helps slow down the inflammation and it also numbs the soft tissue. It slows down
the nerve impulses and also interrupt pain spasm between the nerves.
And thirdly it decreases the tissue damage just have to remember when you apply the ice
on your muscle do not apply more than two hours or it will cause a skin burn
What you need to do or how do you put ice? What kind of ice do you need? Basically what
you need is a styrofoam cup fill it with water and put it in the freezer and when it's done
you just simply tear the edge off like such and you see the ice here. The styrofoam cup
helps the person who is applying the ice to the injured area from cold.
Ok! now that we are ready we can apply the ice into the pain area. The golf elbow or
the injured part from baseball or any sudden injury underneath the arm area on this area
right here.
I'm going to show you this way. The pain starts here and I'm going round circular and make
sure you have a cloth in the bottom because as you can see the ice is melting. Let's go
around the pain area, do a circular movement, circular movement this will help numb up the
area.
What you need to remember with ice therapy or cryotherapy is you have to stop every five
to ten minutes and the maximum time is two hours.
Now that you have finish with the ice therapy, what do you do during the week to maintain
or help relief the pain? Goto this video right here, right here CLICK on it! It will help
you or show you what kind of stretches you need to do and what kind of massage or pain
relief you can do to maintain or get rid of the pain.
In addition to that you can also soak your arm or the pain area with warm water and Epsom
salt and that help release the muscle and loosen up all the tension and get rid of the
pain.
