On today’s episode, Jeremy talks about common misconceptions with ice treatment and why it’s necessary to stop icing injuries with Gary Reinl.

Putting ice on our bruises and injuries has been in practice for a long time and it’s been generally used for recovery after a strenuous sports activity. Gary Reil believes otherwise which is why he is known to be the “anti-iceman.” He believes that icing delays recovery, increases tissue damage and swelling. On this episode, Jeremy talks with Gary Reinl about the RICE protocol and why stop icing injuries. Gary Reinl is a sports medicine expert who has worked with a lot of professional athletes concerning strength building. He has written a book called ICED! that is full of scientific studies about why stop icing your injuries. Listen to find out why!
