SAVE ON INJURY RECOVERY
November 23rd 2011 16:58
Have you ever strained or pulled a muscle that required an
ice pack to help calm down the swelling? Who hasn't?
Many doctors and physical trainers recommend that you
apply an ice pack to help your muscle tissues to heal,
along with rest.
Traditional ice packs sold in pharmacies and sports stores
are not inexpensive. Basically they are a plastic sack filled
with a gel that is placed in a freezer. They work pretty well
but how about this as an alternative?
Buy a few one pound bags of frozen peas from your favorite
grocer's freezer section. Stick 'em in your freezer and wait.
Next time, you or a love one has a muscle injury, simple pull
out your handy-dandy bag of reasonably-priced frozen peas
(preferably a store brand) and apply it to the muscle strain/pull
site.
The frozen peas in the bag will mold to the shape of your body
part until they defrost. When the peas defrost, stick them back
in the freezer to refreeze for another round or cook 'em up
for dinner!
