What good would that do? Why not just ice the actual injured area? -
no but i get deep tissue for muscle pains etc..
i will apply ice to something that is hurting but no way i am getting into a full bed of ice.Comment

My ankles and knees are pretty beat up but lately I've been having problems with my left hip - the place where they inserted a rod into my femur is really hurting these days - trying to gets bags of ice in all the areas that hurt in any kind of timely fashion is out the window....Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View PostComment

Not like you're going to quit the things that are damaging your body, so what's the point...Comment

i think thats a pretty easy one. a shock to your body such as extreme cold wouldn't be the best thing for your heart. not sure how bad it would be but..Originally posted by fog_hat1981 View PostComment

I guess I'm wondering "how bad" it would be...Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Post
It was common practice in highschool - never liked them but they were necessary at times....Last edited by coffee-guy; 07-21-08, 12:37 PM.Comment

i used to do it when I played rugby and i know the guys on te national team do it as well as a bunch of my football buddies.
it hursts like hell, but provides relief far better than topical icing can. If you can't get the sweet metal tub like we had at university, find one of those giant garbage cans (http://www.pittjug.org/b2b/pics/Plas..._Container.jpg) and use one of those. The only drawback they have is that you can't sit in them.Comment
