Ice

I have actually gotten rid of icing. I am now big on running alot, working with surgical tubing, and working a light inseason lifting schedule. Supposedly prolonged icing can cause nerve damage. Just my opinion.

I am not a believer in icing-- running after you throw is my suggestion

When visiting colleges last fall, that was one of the questions we asked the trainers. We got different answers, however running is the key to quicker recovery.
The trainer at my son's school believes in a short icing directly after pitching, helps reduce any swelling, though she knows there is theories on it. Because it has been a routine for my son forever, he does it. He also ices directly after pen for a few minutes.

Seems to be a personal preference to use ice or not. Son's routine is to run right after pitching, then an ice wrap with compression on the shoulder and arm. He says he sees quicker recovery than just running alone. He combines this game day routine with an in-season training plan that is designed for before & after pitch-days.
