PEACE and LOVE Protocol
PEACE and LOVE replaces old RICE with early protection, then education, gradual load, and exercise as tissue tolerance returns—not prolonged rest alone.
The PEACE and LOVE protocol updates legacy RICE for soft-tissue injuries: Protection and Elevation early, Avoid anti-inflammatories when they blunt healing signals, Compression and Education, then Load, Optimism, Vascularisation, and Exercise as tolerance allows. It favors gradual loading over prolonged rest.
Common questions
-
Does PEACE and LOVE mean never use ice?
Short ice for comfort in the first day or two is fine; the shift is away from relying on ice and anti-inflammatories instead of progressive loading once protection needs ease.
