Story of a sprained ankle No R.I.C.E. for CEO Story of a sprained ankle

No R.I.C.E. for CEO Just to add an element of challenge to preparations for the Springboard Days Expo I had sprained my ankle a few days earlier The recommended treatment regime for early treatment is R.I.C.E. R Rest I Ice Compression (bandaging) Elevation But because I was so busy my regime could be described as CEO C Compression (bandaging) EO Elevate Occasionally (when time permitted)
