The rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE) method is part of the standard treatment for sports injuries. The popular treatment is a simple self-care technique that helps reduce swelling, ease pain and speed up healing. One vague thing about the RICE method is the compression part, which involves bandaging an injured area or applying pressure to prevent bleeding or further swelling. However, it can be quite tricky because if the pressure on the injured area is too tight, it can lead to further complications.
