Re: [RC] leg wrapping - Ed & Wendy Hauser

What about ice boots? 
 
Cooling prevents swelling, reduces inflammation etc.  The lower leg does not have muscles in it so it is unlikely that warmth will prevent stiffness the next morning.  I also have a hard time believing that a wrap will significantly "support" the tired leg and thus prevent problems, though a compression bandage can also reduce swelling.
