I've covered this topic before, but I feel that it is very important to talk about.  Everyone gets confused on when to ice and when to heat.  If you ask 5 professionals, you'll get 5 different answers.  Therefore, I will attempt to put it in the simplest terms possible.  Just remember that when the pain gets worse, you use ice.  I recommend 3 times a day for 3 days.  If you still have pain, it doesn't hurt to do it longer.  If you ice more that 3 times a day, it will not hurt you.  The only time ice will hurt you is if you don't put a barrier between the ice pack and your skin. Also, I don't recommend wrapping the ice pack in a towel.  Towels are too thick.  They don't allow the cold to penetrate the skin.  Wrapping a paper towel or t-shirt around it is optimal.  That way, the skin can get cold enough.
If the pain is your normal, achy, stiff pain, heat works better.  
If you're an athlete, or exercising, heat before practice or performance helps warm up the body.  It assists in getting the body prepared for the activity and demand on the muscles, ligaments, joints, etc.  You can then, ice afterwords to control the inflammation caused by the activity.
So just remember, when the pain gets worse, ice.  If It's the every day stiffness, heat.
And as always, if you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me.

Everyone should see the movie Cereal Killers.  Basically it is a new way, which is a very old way, of eating.  It stands in the face of the food pyramid, high carbohydrate, sugar and low fat diets.  A 41 year old man decides to experiment on himself by drastically changing his diet  to a high fat, high protein, recommended vegetables and fruits, and no sugar or carbohydrates plan.  He stays on the diet for 28 days, while being tracked by doctors, who run tests like blood work , body fat percentages and resting metabolic rate.  The results will surprise you!  It is a must watch!

A couple of weeks ago, you may have heard a Florida mother talking about her shock at receiving a letter stating that her daughter was obese.  The health screening is mandating by Florida law and is based on BMI calculations for obesity.   Her daughter is 11 years old and very healthy.  So how did such a thing happen?
 This is a very simplistic measure.  When using this as a measurement for obesity, you must consider each individual.  In the case of this girl, the BMI is the worst measure possible.  Anyone could look at her and tell she is far from obese.  She is a healthy, active, normal girl. 
BMI is basically your weight divided by your height.  In athletes, the BMI will show them to be obese.  Why? because muscle is more dense and weighs more than fat.  You can take an athlete that weighs 200 and is 5'10", and someone who is overweight, doesn't exercise and is 200 and 5'10", and they will both be obese by the BMI measurement.  That's why BMI must be incorporated into a common sense health screening and cannot be allowed to stand alone.  
If insurance companies begin to use this as a standard measurement, we will be categorizing a certain percentage of the population as obese who are far from it.
There are much more accurate tests and measurements to evaluate the percentage of body fat, but they cannot be done as quickly, or some cases, in an office setting.  The hydrostatic body fat testing is the most accurate way to measure lean tissue and fat tissue, but it also requires the person to be fully submerged in a tank of water.
Bottom line, if you know you are overweight, the BMI is an indicator of your health.  No more no less.  
It should never stand alone as a test for the overall health of an individual.
