Did YOU know? ICE in your drink RELIEVES STRESS! ICE in your hand RELIEVES someone's PAIN! ICE REDUCES edema, inflammation, spacticity, INSTANTLY! Legal, safe, NO DRUGS, NO SIDE-EFFECTS, available!

Ice Massage: The Ultimate Cryotherapeutic Alternative is truly the long-awaited book that addresses two obvious needs. The first need being that of an "alternative medicine" that is truly "generic," but with proven medicinal clout.

The second need being a source of valid, proven, successful information, ensconced in expertise and written in language understandable to the Public.

Justifiably, both Therapist and Patient, who had never experienced Ice-Massage or Cold Therapy, find the entire concept as "Grandma's small-town Remedy." However, seeing is not only believing, but feeling is the crucial proof.

This book uses the holistic teaching from Hippocrates and the ancient physicians to present day rehabilitation practitioners. The book is a combination of common sense, plus forty-plus years of "hands-on" expertise - mixed with water to create ice - to relieve stress and pain.

The subject matter takes into considerations the "ailments" of daily living and is written comprehensively and illustrated with informed simplicity. Add to this, the facility of "open-book" usage while working (the book lies "flat") and you have the best of immediate consultation.

Subjects range from simple "runny nose" to back pain, tennis elbow, sciatica and the more serious migraines, "stroke," angina, fibromyalgia and more! No other therapy can "brag" about being completely legal, safe, available, inexpensive, non-drug, non-addictive, no side-effects and 99.5% successful! This book is a "must-have" for every "hands-on" licensed professional, regardless of his/her area of expertise!

Harold Packman has been respectfully referred to as "the Ice Man" by his colleagues. Over the forty year practice which has admittedly used "tons" of ice in treatment, the creation of another "Ice Age" appears to be the ultimate result- at least!

While the humor may exist, the rewards, as seen over the years, have proven Mr. Packman to be the true "Public Defender" against Pain and Stress. Boredom and "Burnout" are two words that are not in his vocabulary when discussing the benefits of Massage Therapy.

Mr. Packman is no stranger to the lecture circuit. He has addressed colleagues and peer professionals all across the United States and major cities in Canada and Newfoundland.

His lectures and demonstrated techniques are presented with colorful charts, which he personally drew. His style is conversational, compassionate, confirming, and laced with topical humor. He explains his successes as "the Cold Truth- Actually!" Mr. Packman enthusiastically describes Ice Massage as "the most effective treatment given with the most non-medical modality."
