DD is 11 and I had heard that icing the shoulder(or arm) after a game or a strenuous workout is an excellent way to effect faster recovery.
We are in pre-season now and I was thinking about maybe getting an icepack for her shoulder and starting a post-practice/post game icing ritual. I figured I'd get one of these:http://www.petesice.com/2005/index.html
Is this too soon?
Also where do you ice the shoulder?
I assumed it was basically the deltoid as I have seen pitchers with ice bags taped to their shoulder after a game. DD told me yesterday she was sore in the muscles on either side of her armpit. for want of better terminology on the front where the pectoral joins the arm and on the back where the scapula joins the arm.
perhaps this is an anomally because her pitching muscles are coming out of their long winter rest?
thanks!
