No offense, Bulldog, but I'll take the advise of one of the best elbow/shoulder surgeons in the country. He told me icing for less than 20 minutes after throwing is part of a healthy routine for arm care and injury prevention.......that's a quote.

But I'm sure he didn't tell you why? Or are you just not telling us why? Or maybe tell us his name so we can search out the information on our own.

Look, I have some knowledge of exercise physiology.. I'm no expert but what has been said to this point is contradictory to what I have learned. I am looking for more information as to why one would believe icing speeds up the healing process?

Contrary to popular belief, inflammation is a GOOD THING to a certain extent.
