Episode #2 - An Icebox Where My Calf Used to Be

In this conversation, we discuss the implications of cryotherapy for young athletes, particularly focusing on its necessity, effectiveness, and potential risks. We explore the physiological differences in muscle soreness between children and adults, the role of ice and heat in injury treatment, and the importance of accurate diagnosis in sports medicine. The discussion emphasizes the need for a biomechanical approach to rehabilitation and the potential downsides of relying on cryotherapy and anti-inflammatories without addressing underlying issues.
