Hands-Free Ice Pack Therapy For Ankle Injuries
Did you know that there are 100 tendons, ligaments, and muscles in just one human foot? With all of those tendons, when you simply sprain your ankle a lot of them tear, resulting in swelling.
In this post of the Zen Healing Sock Series we will be looking into ice therapy! According to interviews with experts, we believe that ice is used for swelling since it constricts blood flow to the area applied. When something on your body swells, it’s because more blood has come to the area. With ice, the veins get smaller therefore constricting blood flow.
We are going to be using an actual ice pack and seeing if we can use our Flippysock to help secure the pack so that you don’t have to hold it. We are going to try two different methods to put the icepack into the Flippysock: just put the frozen pack in and to add some insulation on the part where the pack is closest to the skin by using Flippysox bags! Maybe REI, Biking, Black Mountain Bicycles, Running would find this interesting… Lets go!
