Ice Cup Massage

Dr. Heather tells you how to make an ice cup which can be used to help treat tendonitis symptoms around the elbow, knee, ankle and even shoulder.

Materials needed to make an ice cup are - a dixie cup, paper cup like the short cup Dr. Heather picked up at Starbucks or a styrofoam cup.

Fill the cup up almost to the top.

Freeze it overnight so the ice becomes really solid.

Tear away the top part of the cup so the ice is exposed then start massaging the ice on the inflamed area.

As the ice melts, tear more of the cup to expose more ice.

Make sure to place a towel underneath you so you do not get wet.

Remember, if you are someone who reacts to ice please do not use this technique as the ice goes directly on the skin here.

You will massage the area for about 5mins and you should notice the different stages of ice being felt. The four stages are: cold, burning, aching and then numb.

After you use the ice cup massage over the injured area, you could do a little cross friction massage to the area as well to help promote a quicker recovery time.
