Heat vs. Ice

Question:

When it comes to sooting the occasional strain from yoga, should you reach for ice or heat?

Answer:

It all depends on the injury. Ice is better for injuries that happen fast since it minimizes swelling and reduces the inflammation that’s triggering your pain. For back pain, tennis elbow and other chronic injuries or those that tend to develop over time, apply warmth.

Namaste,
