What is the priority between stretching exercises and ice compression, why?
That's good to know. And how long should ice compression be applied for?
Generally, ice compression should be applied for 10-20 minutes at a time, with at least an hour break between applications. It's important not to apply ice directly to the skin, but to wrap it in a cloth or use a gel pack to avoid frostbite. Again, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for specific instructions based on your injury.
