RICE No More!  Hello PEACE & LOVE By Erica Augsten, Physiotherapist

It happened again… you landed from a perfect block in volleyball, felt your ankle roll, and now it’s swollen and sore. When this happens, most of us are automatically reaching for the ice pack. However, is this really the best way for us to manage injuries initially?

More studies are coming out regarding what actually happens when we ice an injured tissue, and what studies are finding is that it may actually slow down the healing process. For more information about this and where the idea of RICE actually came from, follow THIS LINK.

So what SHOULD you do next time you sprain your ankle? The new and improved advice is to follow the PEACE and LOVE principles.

Think PEACE right after an injury, and follow it up with LOVE during recovery. The game-changer? Skip the anti-inflammatories and ice—let your body’s natural healing kick in with improved blood flow to the injured area.

Next time you have a soft tissue injury, skip the ice and let these principles guide your recovery. Not sure what to do? City Sports + Physio Clinic is here to help you get back to what you love. Mention Urban Rec when booking to receive a preferred rate - only for Urban Rec members.
