Control pain and swelling
To return the athlete to his/her activity as soon and as safely as possible
In order to regain the ability to follow some previously established sensory or movement pattern
An athlete with a lower extremity injury can utilize pool activities, and bike riding for
conditioning exercises.
13. Hot packs are used most often post-acutely (after swelling has stopped).
14. Used to increase blood and lymphatic flow and facilitate reabsorption of the by-products of the
injury process into the lymphatic system. Heat may also be used for its analgesic and relaxation
effects.
