The Magician (I), from the Rider-Waite tarot deck. The Magician, The Magus, or The Juggler (I) is the first trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination. In divination it is considered by some to succeed The Fool card, often numbered 0 (zero). He is the middle ground.
But now for the first time, researchers have found a hormone produced by inflamed tissue that could help heal damaged muscle. This discovery turns the conventional wisdom that swelling must be controlled to encourage healing, on itâs head. Putting ice on an injury may prevent healing according to scientists. And these findings could lead to new therapies for acute muscle injuries caused by trauma, chemicals, infections, freeze damage, and exposure to medications which cause muscle damage as a side effect.
If you are unsure what to do, please contact your physiotherapist for injury-specific advice. Ice is preferred for the initial two or three days post-injury. Apply ice for 20 minutes each two to three hours for the first few days until the heat comes out of the injury. Ice should also help to reduce your pain and swelling in traumatic soft tissue injuries, such as ligament sprains, muscle tears or bruising.
