Call the POLICE when you get injured?

Again via Bret Contreras I came across this article.  We used to get told to RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation).  Well now that is Old School – now it’s POLICE - Protection, Optimal loading, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

RICE needs updating.....

Hi,
About the Ice, there are a lot of data that indicates that ice is not so good for soft tissue injuries
