Taking this week off working out due to a few injuries on my body from weights and Hockey. At this point are heat packs and sleep the way to go?

Yes. Ice for inflammation and swelling or heat for circulation, stiffness and faster recovery.Originally Posted by WayneKenoff
Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.
Let's show RESPECT for the POLICE and ALL FIRST RESPONDERS by helping to keep THEM SAFE AND SOUND, and thereby able to PROTECT US!

either can work or even combining both (i.e. heat, then ice, then heat, then ice). Find something that works for you. My son loves ice baths (crazy football player), fill up a training tub with cold water and ice, put on some booties to keep the toes from freezing then submerge yourself for 15 minutes. You'll want to hurl the first few times you do it but after that it's effective. Now that he's in college they have tubs set up for it. When my son was in HS I donated some heavy plastic tubs that they kept outside and they would fill 4 of them with 30-40 lbs of ice each, add water, a little salt (to make it colder) and then all the linemen (and a few others) would get some ice time. In college, during the winter, they'll go from the weight room, walk out towards to football stadium and jump into snow banks. Yes it's cold but they're able to recover so that they don't miss practice the next day.
Me, for soreness I use heat packs, then ice packs. Switch back and forth a few times then foam roll, unless something is swollen then it's ice.
