Re: How Do I Manage An Injury?

Remember the ol’ RICE protocol for managing an injury?

Rest

Ice

Compression

Elevation

Well, that protocol has since been updated and I wanted to share it with you.

The most updated way we approach managing an acute injury is with PEACE & LOVE.

What was taken away?

Rest and Ice.

What are some of the key additions?

Awareness, education, mental health promotion, and guided rehab!

The new guidelines are based on research which showed that simply resting and icing was not promoting healing of injured tissues. The updated protocol address everything from the physical to mental sides of recovery.

Take this one and save it for future reference!

Talk soon,
