[closed] Is an ice pack the only natural aid for sore knees from playing tennis? How can exercise like this translate to being a better administrator?
Hello,
My name is Aimee and I am a business senior major with a major of administration and a concentration of management. So far, I have an associate's degree in administration and I am almost finished with my bachelor's degree. Concordia University, home of the Tornados, is where I am a proud student! The goal is for me to start working professionally in office management or as an administrator. I have been reading career materials that suggest exercising and taking care of yourself is a great way to not only be physically fit, but to also do better in a career. Upon reading this, I have embarked on a journey of being fit so that I can participate in cross fit activities. Yesterday while playing singles tennis, I believe that I accidentally twisted my knee when trying to save a tennis ball from hitting the ground. Are there any other aids besides ice to get rid of the pain?
Thank you for your help; I appreciate it! #sports-management #nutrition #sports-medicine

Icing — “cryotherapy” for therapy geeks — is an essential injury management skill. Everyone should understand icing the same way everyone knows how to put on a Band-Aid. It is a cheap, effective, drugless method for relieving the pain of injuries. Safe application of ice to your skin can relieve symptoms from sprains, strains, bruises, and tendinitis — virtually any situation in which superficial tissues are inflamed by trauma. Icing could also assist recovery from repetitive strain injuries like tendinitis or iliotibial band syndrome, although that is less clear.
But there also hazards and complications that anyone with chronic pain absolutely needs to know. This article is full of tips and insights about icing that will take you way beyond the basics!
My strained thigh muscle felt like a broken bone at first, but I'm using your icing method and it’s responding brilliantly.
