Is cryotherapy contraindicated in sporting injuries or not?
RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a standard procedure when dealing with sporting injuries.

However, the "inventor" of said principle recently discouraged longer cryotherapy. However, the literature regarding this is fairly in-concise. I am aware that RICE still is a recommended first aid strategy. How severe (if at all) is the contraindication of using cryotherapy?
