Yatson Training

Frosty Albury-Wodonga mornings (around 4°C) mean busy netball and AFL sidelines, but cold joints can be vulnerable to sprains. ❄️

When the whistle blows, knowing what to do is vital. Jackie, our Lead Trainer and RN, recommends the R.I.C.E method:

✅ Rest: Stop play immediately to prevent further injury.
✅ Ice: Apply for 20 mins every 2 hours to reduce inflammation.
✅ Compression: Use a firm bandage, but always check for warmth and sensation in toes or fingers!
✅ Elevation: Raise the limb above the heart level.

Prevention tip: Dynamic warm-ups are a must when it’s this chilly! 🧣

At Yatson Training, we provide hands-on first aid that builds your confidence to act. Coaches and parents: what’s your must-have sideline kit item? Tell us in the comments! 👇
