It was great to work with the team again for their first time back on the ice in a long time! Vernon Vipers put on a great game last night against Salmon Arm Silverbacks with a 4-1 win. A great reward for the patience its taken to back on the ice. #vernonvipers

When an injury happens you want to start treating it immediately Reducing pain and promoting the healing process as early as possible can prevent long term side effects injuries cause. The most common question when starting rehab is "What is better for this injury, heat or ice?"

Are you experiencing pain along the lateral side of the hip and knee? Often this can be caused by inflammation of the Iliotibial band or IT-band as it is more commonly known as. Runners and cyclists often suffer from IT-band syndrome due to the repetitive flexion/extension of the hip. Often foam rolling the IT-band has been suggested to help, which is painful and not necessary.
