New Acronym for Injuries PEACE & LOVE
Injuries happen, let’s face it so knowing how to best approach it ahead of time can make all the difference in your recovery. R.I.C.E has been replaced with “PEACE & LOVE” as the acronym for injury management. It was proposed in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2019 and focuses on a more holistic approach to soft tissue injury recovery, encompassing both acute and sub-acute/chronic phases. It promotes early movement and addresses the psychosocial factor as well.
Fact: R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevation) principle was in use 1978 and was dedacted in 2015.
PEACE: acute phase (usually the pain or onset of pain immediately up to a few weeks)
-
P – Protect
-
E – Elevate
-
A – Avoid anti-inflammatories
-
C – Compress
-
E – Educate
LOVE: Sub-acute/Rehabilitation Phase:
-
L – Load
-
O – Optimism
-
V – Vascularization
-
E – Exercise
Optimism: Address psychosocial factors and encourage a positive mindset, as negative emotions can affect recovery. Don’t be a crap magnet! If you think you won’t get better or it’s not worth trying you are only bringing that energy towards you. I think I can..I think I can…I will…I will…
