Ice Application
for Tendonitis
Ice application after exercise reduces tendon pain by decreasing local blood flow and nerve conduction, providing short-term symptom relief during the reactive phase of tendinopathy.
How it works
Vasoconstriction reduces post-exercise fluid accumulation in the tendon sheath. Slows nerve conduction velocity in local nociceptors, transiently raising the pain threshold.
What to watch for
Apply for 15β20 minutes post-exercise. Do not apply before exercise β cold reduces tendon viscoelasticity. Use a cloth barrier to protect skin. Most relevant in the reactive/inflammatory phase.
