[Evidence]

I was taking Dick Hartzel's stance on the issue as well as supporting Nate's post. I was just saying that it's such an outdated and non practical way to treat such issues as sprains to just reach for ice and say rest. I grew up playing all sports and especially with basketball and volleyball have sprained my ankle many times and of all the people in my life from athletic trainers, doctors, physical therapists, etc; they all did the exact same thing, said stay off of it and keep ice on it. When that should've been the last thing I was doing. That goes a lot with my training advice too but I don't want to get too off subject. I met Dick at this years arnold and that guy was the nicest person in the room. He couldn't wait to show me techniques on his bands where they had a demo set up. He'd talk to you all day if you kept asking him questions.
