The use of the ice train after we've already discussed that helps reduce the inflammation and discomfort caused by the training. It also helps to alleviate the pain if there has been a coup, and that the area is calm and not so altered after having been doing exercise of some intensity. However, this technique of applying cold can also be performed for smaller areas, applying local massage with ice to relieve after workout.
There are athletes that are placed enormous bags of ice after having competed, as soon as you sit on the sidelines or ends the training or competition. There are also those who even bathe in ice. The objective is always the same: to reduce the stress that has caused the exercise in the body. However, for small areas (fingers or toes, points very localized pain in the elbow, knee…) you can apply ice locally with a massage.
You can do this by using an ice cube, or better, freeze a small plastic cup full of water, in order to be able to hold it from the bottle and apply the end frozen on the skin. Thus, we can use it as a local application, making a circular massage for 2-5 minutes, depending on the region and the desired effect.
This can be useful, for example, in the event of a coup d'état in a finger, where to apply an ice pack or cold gel may not cover the area well with discomfort. However, this type of technique is often used to therapeutic level, to treat localized lesions of tendons or ligaments, which require a thorough approximation with the local cold therapy.
The circular massage acts calming inflammation and pain. It is necessary to move the ulna, because you know that the cold causes burns, so leave a lot of time on ice in contact with an area of skin without moving it can give us a displeasure.
