MOVE an injury not RICE (2017)

Dr. Clement, a seasoned expert in injury rehabilitation, was familiar with success years earlier, when track athlete Lynn Williams won a bronze medal in the 1984 Olympics despite suffering a foot stress fracture in the Olympic build up. That recovery after injury is improved with movement, not rest, was published in that banner year, 1996, by Dr. Jim and Phil Wharton in The Wharton’s Stretch Book (4). That movement also directly stimulates tissue healing was clarified by Dr. Khan (Editor of the British Journal of Sports Medicine) and Dr. Scott (Director of Vancouver Hospital’s Tendon Laboratory) (5).
