R.I.C.E indeed is helpful for first aid treatment of some muscular and skeletal pains such as the knee and the hip injuries.
R.I.C.E in this context stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
REST
A good rest does not necessarily mean that one sleeps for more than usual or become inactive. Its simply implies temporarily reducing the activities of a certain part or the whole body entirely.
You need rest to boost a healing process or relax from a hard work (And he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [Genesis 2:2 ]). God the Father rested from the work of creation and even our Lord Jesus Christ rested.
ICE
A cold medium such as ice or very cold water can numb pain and reduce swelling by constricting the blood vessels. Ice help a knee injury feel better. You can use ice for 24 hours and then alternate between ice and heat. Ice reduces swelling but boost stiffness. To get your ice-rub, you can freeze your water in an ice-tray, remove the ice and place unto a face towel to apply on the affected area gently and intermittently.
COMPRESSION
A tender but firm pressure mostly reduce swelling from a knee injury. Wrap the injury with an elastic bandage but not too tight.
ELEVATION
While lying down, elevate your knee with a pillow or while sitted, prop your knee on a stool and further raise it up with a pillow. This reduces the swelling and promotes better blood circulation.
Having done all these, stand in prayer. Pray that the God of all flesh will breathe on your injury and heal you perfectly in Jesus' Holy Name, amen.
I plead the precious blood of Jesus on you from head to toe.
Amen.
