✔ Rest – Avoid using the injured area to prevent further damage.
✔ Ice – Apply ice (wrapped in a cloth) for 15-20 minutes every few hours to reduce swelling.

✔ Elevation – Raise the injured area above heart level to minimize swelling.
❌ DON’T:
✖ Keep playing – this can worsen the injury.
✖ Apply heat – it can increase swelling in the first 48 hours.
✖ Wrap too tightly – it may cut off circulation.
✖ Ignore severe pain – seek medical attention for fractures or serious injuries.
✖ Delay treatment – early care speeds up recovery!
Stay safe and play smart! 🏀⚽🏈
