Extreme Veteran Posts: 316	cheryl makofka - 2015-02-03 9:19 PM Longneck - 2015-01-31 10:41 PM Just curious (not trying to steal the thread!!)... Does anyone use ice/cold therapy before a workout/run to keep the legs tight?? When I spoke to my vet about doing this prior to workout, he said absolutely no, as it increases the chance of shearing the tendons off. Yes ^^^ To me this is a no brainer. Ice/cold makes muscles contract (shorten) Heat makes them expand (loosen) That is why we 'warm up' and 'cool down'

The way I understand it, is there's just the plain compression socks OR the compression socks with pockets on the outside that you can fill with ice. Those can still be used JUST for compression without the ice as well. Edited by cavyrunsbarrels 2015-02-04 6:12 PM

Expert Posts: 2531 Location: WI	Just realized I will need ice for the Hidez wraps - no LQ can make that difficult in the summer! But, I guess I would need a freezer even for the Ice Vibe boots.... Well, better than buying ice all the time! Hmmmmm.....

I use one of the small quart feed buckets full of ice and end up dumping ice out bc I dont use it all. Im not sure how much exactly but its not much ice.
