I completely agree that icing is more of a mental recovery method then physical. And I believe that it may, in fact, do more harm then good.

When a pitcher comes out of a long outing he's got a lot of pooled blood sitting around their shoulder girdle and upper arm. We all know that cold causes compression which is why we use it on swollen knees. But ice also causes constriction of the blood vessels causing the lactic acid filled blood to be trapped in the shoulder girdle.

Instead of ice, we get our guys on a PNF stretching program and active mobility to keep the muscles mobile while flushing the bad blood out and replacing it with oxygen rich good blood.

Just my $0.02... you can keep the change ;-)
