(CNN) -- Some turn to prayer. Others turn to state-of-the-art medicine.
Lindsey Vonn turned to the power of fromage.
The Olympic favorite has been wrapping her injured shin in an Austrian
cheese -- topfen -- to reduce inflammation.
One former Olympic trainer wasn't surprised.
"It's not bizarre at all," said Ralph Reiff, certified athletic trainer
and director of Sports Medicine and Sports Performance for St. Vincent
Hospital of Indianapolis, Indiana. "It's just what athletes at that level
do."
While using the cheese may not be scientifically proven to soothe an
injury, what matters more is what's in the athlete's mind, Reiff said.
"Regardless of whether it's a home remedy or passed down from generations
or something someone thought of, if the athlete believes in it, there is
significant value in that," said Reiff, who has worked as an athletic
trainer in previous Olympics. "If the person who is receiving that
treatment believes that it's part of the puzzle of getting better,
therefore that athlete has faith. I am a firm believer that it has value."
On February 2, the skier injured her right shin while training in Austria,
an injury that could keep her out of the Olympics.
Vonn spoke to Sports Illustrated about her physical therapist's unusual
remedy: "He's been wrapping cheese on it, and I know that sounds funny,
but it seems to work. He's been rubbing castor oil on it.''

University of South Carolina, said using cheese as a way to reduce
inflammation was new to him.
