Peace and Love Principle

Introduction

• Common and well-known principles of soft tissue


injury management include principles such as RICE
and POLICE,

• More recently Dubois and Esculier (2019) proposed


two new acronyms to optimize soft tissue recovery:
PEACE and LOVE
What is peace & love ?
Peace
• "Immediately after a soft tissue injury, do no harm
and let PEACE guide your approach“

Love
• "After the first days have passed, soft tissues need
LOVE"
Clinical Bottom Line

• The management of soft tissue injuries, whether it


is a hamstring strain or an ankle sprain, should not
just focus on short-term damage control. Clinicians
should also focus on long-term outcomes and focus
on treating the person with the injury and not just
treating the injury of the person.
