Like most athletes I know, they keep ice packs on the ready in the freezer in the event of injury or inflammation from an overly strenuous workout. But is using ice the best thing to do when this happens?

POSE founder Dr. Romanov says an emphatic “No” to icing and has more to say about using ice to treat inflammation and injuries.

Any medical people or athletes out there disagree with Dr. Romanov’s “No Icing” rule?
