Tratamiento de Lesiones - Del RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) al PEACE (Protect, Elevate, Avoid, Compress and Educate) and LOVE (Load, Optimismm Vascularization and Exercise)

Muy buenas,

Algo que ya sospechábamos:

Se pasa de:

RICE, which stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation:
Don’t move or use a sore joint or limb, numb it with ice and anti-inflammatories, and reduce any swelling with compression and elevation. 

A:

So, in 2019, Esculier and his colleague Blaise DuBois proposed a new protocol and related acronyms for dealing with an injury, PEACE and LOVE, which stand for:
-Protect the injured area by restricting movement somewhat for the first day or two.
-Elevate the injured limb to reduce swelling. “There’s not much evidence elevation helps healing,” Esculier said. “But it doesn’t hurt, either. So, why not?”
-Avoid ice and anti-inflammatory painkillers. But remember that Tylenol is okay.
-Compress, with taping or a bandage. “It could make movement easier,” he said, and lessen swelling.
-Educate. Consult with a doctor, physical therapist or athletic trainer if you don’t feel comfortable treating an injury yourself.  
-Load. “Move and load” the injured area as soon as possible, Esculier said.
-Optimism. “An optimistic mindset” can help with recovery, Esculier said. “Try not to catastrophize. You will get better.”
-Vascularization. Aerobic exercise maintains healthy blood flow to an injury. If you can’t easily walk, try stationary cycling or swimming, Esculier said.
-Exercise. Once the injury starts to heal, exercises that strengthen the joint or tissue could help you recover fully and avoid reinjury. Consult a physical therapist or athletic trainer for the right program. 

Bueno saberlo.
