RICE (physiotherapy)
The classic tetrad of treatment for sprains and minor joint injuries consists of:
- Rest
- Ice packs - at home, a pack of frozen peas in a towel are effective as it can be moulded to the part
- Compression - but do not use if too painful as the joint surfaces may be bruised
- Elevation
