Hurt? Ice & tape injuries for healing (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

therapeutic

'for healing' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'hurt? ice tape injuries' is the wordplay.
'injuries' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'injury' mean this).
'hurt'+'ice'+'tape'='hurticetape'
'hurticetape' is an anagram of 'THERAPEUTIC'.

(Other definitions for therapeutic that I've seen before include "Sanative" , "Having a healing effect" , "having a good effect" , "Related to healing" , "Contributing to good heath" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
