Tendonities treatment: RICE vs. MEAT

[Sol]

I have recently begun experienceing tendonitis type symptoms in my forearm. I've been doing lots or research on the internet and asking diffeerent people for advice. though I've been using the RICE formula for healing, I've come across a lot of hype about the MEAT treatment. Does any body have any expereience with MEAT treatment? Can you explain it to me? Also, is ice and compression beneficial once swelling has been reduced? don't they reduce circulation which is vital for healing and because of limited circulation is the reason forearms injuries take so long to rehabilitate? Lastly, has anyone ever used hydro-contrast therapy for this type of injury? what is your formual, and what were your results? in the past I have done 2 min hot followed by 30 sec cold for about 3 cycles and always ended on hot. any suggestions?

There was a swell article about this at www.pcatour.com, but their site seems to be under construction at the moment. It was under the "Injury Report" section of the site; the doc for the tour had a couple columns there. You may be able to dig up more info in the last R&I issue, the one that had the Prolotherapy article in it.
