IC???

I keep reading about IC and I know it’s something to do with recovery after injury but what does it actually stand for?!!! I keep thinking “intensive care” care in my head when I read it but that seems a bit extreme for resting up after tweaking something!

It’s been niggling me for a while so just thought I would ask- thanks.

I know some kind person on here will enlighten my ignorance!
