Private answer
Cold therapy should be the modality of choice in the acute state following trauma. Cold may be uncomfortable at first but pain, edema, inflammation and muscle spasm will ultimately be reduced. Once symptoms have subsided then the OT can recommend active range of motion exercises. Marked as spam
