Yes ice detracts blood flow as well but its a means to an end. Blood flow will be improved after swelling is decreased.

Yes blood flow is good and the best but your body doesnt make mistakes the inflammation is there for a reason and it’s phagocytes. First I get your point relieving pain is for our comfort but does nothing that is efficient in helping the body recover. Simple analogy if me and you do jumping jacks in a room the temperature will rise due to ATP same as the the repair cells T’s phagocytosis it produces heat due them working.
