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.
