If the tissue is still frozen or damaged, you run the risk of causing additional damage. Microscopic ice crystals can form within the tissues. They are sharp, and moving around is like twisting a knife around in there, further rupturing cell membranes and other structures.
This is why massaging or rapidly rubbing affected areas is an extremely poor treatment option. It is supposed to speed circulation, but can ultimately do additional damage.
