Soft tissue injuries (sprains and strains)
from La Clinique Du Coureur
The mnemonic was introduced by Dr. Gabe Mirkin in 1978. He withdrew his support of this regimen in 2014 after learning of the role of inflammation in the healing process. The implementation of RICE for soft tissue injuries as described by Dr. Mirkin is no longer recommended, as there is not enough research on the efficacy of RICE in the promotion of healing.[1]
What are the current recommendations?
The following general guide from Safer Care Victoria provides a guideline for the initial treatment of minor soft tissue injuries.
The guideline above recommends an updated RICE and no HARM approach for the first 48 to 72 hours following the injury. HARM stands for Heat, Alcohol, Running/activity, and Massage.
Some health practitioners recommend a PEACE and LOVE approach. The YouTube video above explains briefly the PEACE and LOVE approach.
