[QUOTE="area43, post: 247716, member: 4862"] This is the acronym for the knees. R.I.C.E. R - is for rest, I - is for ice, C - is for compression, E - is for elavation. As we get older our tendons and ligaments get stretched and stressed with time. This makes the knee vulnerable. The knee depends on the act of compression to keep everything together and operate smoothly. Elevation is great. I do it when watching TV at night. Elevate the knees above the heart. I've found the higher the better. UPS stresses methods. Thats all fine and dandy. What UPS wont admit to is the natural wear and tear of repetative motion and old father time. UPS ignores this. UPS will refer to "all" incurred injuries due to the failure to follow the methods. My analogy to all that. The automobile. Lets just say you do "all" the perodical maintiance on that vehicle to the Letter. Lets just say you drive that vehicle will all the care in the world. Sooner or later that car is going to break down. Why? because of worn out parts. UPS will never admit to that. Is that a wise and smart business practice? Is that cruel? If you go 30 years in a package car your body is going to have some worn out parts that need fixin or replaced. Why dosen't UPS want to admit that? Why do they want to fire employees for worn out parts? When they fire us its always for unsafe work methods. Failure to follow instructions. Perphaps in alot of cases that could be true. Just something to think about. Thank God we have a union. [/QUOTE]
