Every half way decent coach should know the PRICE method of treatment for pulls, strains, and sprains, as most sports injuries will fall into this treatment category.
- Protection – stop playing and keep weight off the injured area
- Rest – relax and avoid using the injured part as much as possible
- Ice – ice the injury
- Compress – wrap the injury after icing it
- Elevate – keep the injured part elevated to decrease blood flow to the injured area
