Common Misconceptions About Swelling & Injury

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

We’re back for another episode of the Unreal Results podcast after a much needed hiatus! If you’ve been here for a little bit, you know my stance on swelling after injuries is to have it pretty much eliminated after 48-72 hours. Unfortunately, that opinion about swelling often gets confused with inflammation and tissue healing. In this episode, I talk about common swelling reduction strategies like R.I.C.E (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and the newer P.E.A.C.E. & L.O.V.E. protocol and why they may not fully optimize the body’s natural healing processes. You’ll also hear specifics and my experience using my Swelling Reduction Protocol with my athletes for acute injuries, as well as managing excessive, stagnant swelling that can impede recovery. This episode will challenge your assumptions about swelling and help you to elevate your practice to the next level.
