Relieve pain and swelling and promote healing and flexibility with RICE—Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.

Rest.

Rest and protect the injured or sore area. Stop, change, or take a break from any activity that may be causing your pain or soreness.

Ice.

Cold will reduce pain and swelling. Apply an ice or cold pack right away to prevent or minimize swelling. Apply the ice or cold pack for 10 to 20 minutes, 3 or more times a day.

Compression. Compression, the injured or sore area with the Cryosleeve, will help decrease swelling. Don't tighten too tightly, because this can cause more swelling below the affected area.

Elevation. Elevate the injured or sore area on pillows while applying ice and anytime you are sitting or lying down.
