If you experience an injury, remember this: P.E.A.C.E. and L.O.V.E.
Protection: unload or restrict movements.
Elevation: elevate the limb (above the heart) to promote fluid flow out of the tissue.
Avoid: anti-inflammatories as these may impair tissue regeneration.
Compression: tape and/or strap to reduce swelling.
Education: educate about active recovery.
Load: an active movement and exercise approach (with little or no pain).
Optimism: the brain plays a key role in rehabilitation.
Vascularisation: cardio workouts boost motivation and increase blood flow.
Exercise: reduces the risk of re-injury.
