Histоry: MC is а 23 yeаr оld student. He injured his left аnkle during a sоccer game at school earlier today. He was seen by the attending physician on the field and diagnosed with a grade II lateral ankle sprain. MC's ankle was packed in ice, and he was sent to the locker room for immediate physical therapy follow-up. The physician instructed MC to be non-weightbearing, utilize bilateral axillary crutches, and to rest the injured ankle. Systems Review: MC reports disappointment in his inability to finish the soccer season. Visual inspection shows MC is holding his ankle in a single position and expresses extreme hesitancy in allowing the therapist to move the joint. MC is otherwise healthy and denies a history of cancer, diabetes, or other significant health problems. Tests and Measures: Gentle passive range of motion (PROM) reveals restrictions in all directions. Active range of motion (AROM) is minimal. The lateral talofibular joint is tender to touch, with discoloration indicating internal bleeding along the lateral surface and an inability to view the lateral malleolus because of swelling. The area is warm to the touch and slightly reddened. What other physical agents, besides electrical stimulation, would be an appropriate consideration for this patient? Choose the BEST answer.
