I find that engaging the support muscles really help stability in the mobility. Like you mentioned, the leg that’s back (in extension) works best when you tuck the hip and engage the glute. It gives support to the psoas and upper quad for optimal controlled movement and lengthening.
I’ve used them. For me, just ok. Not useless but not great either but i guess it would depend on if it’s for minor aches and pains post workout etc. I’ve liked arnica cream for stuff in a pinch.
In my experience it depends on the injury. Inflammation needs ice. But if your injury has caused a muscle to be tight then ice will worsen that condition. Heat for tightness, ice for swelling. If there is a tear involved though it becomes tricky. If people have a good RMT or Osteo/physio...

this guys is fun and very useful. Lots of free videos online but this is an easy 10 minute morning mobility routine that hits everything

Looks solid, but maybe work in some rows to hit your back. Office work and commuting really do a number on getting our shoulders internally rotated and tight chests. Narrow grip rows, low and slow will be a good addition to your upper day.
So fucking full of shit. How about not shaming a kid for openly loving his family. For allowing a male to express emotions and normalizing tears. Maybe there’d be less first person shooter game reenactments happening on the daily. Fuck right off with that repressed bullshit.
I literally changed to it by fluke just as the first hand off happened. It was so amazing to watch the sheer acceleration and concentration. Fanfuckingtastic.
