A soft tissue injury may require first aid. One treatment method is known as RICE, which stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
<h3>What is compression?</h3>
Compression in mechanics refers to the application of evenly distributed inward ("pressing") forces to various places on a material or structure. These forces have no net sum or torque and are intended to diminish the size of the object in one or more directions. It is in contrast to shearing forces, which are aimed to shift layers of the material that are parallel to each other, and tension or traction, which applies balanced outward ("pushing") pressures. A crucial engineering factor is the compressive strength of materials and structures.
When an object is compressed uniaxially, forces are applied only in one direction, acting to shorten the object's length in that direction.
