PEACE & LOVE: A New Way to Heal Injuries

Описание: Forget the ice pack. There’s a better way to heal.

Dr. Andrew Fix challenges the old RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) protocol and shows how it can actually slow recovery instead of helping it. Ice and anti-inflammatories may ease pain in the moment, but they also keep the body from doing the work it’s built to do.

In this episode, Dr. Fix lays out PEACE (Protection, Elevation, Avoiding anti-inflammatories, Compression, Education) and LOVE (Load, Optimism, Vascularization, and Exercise), a framework that focuses on protecting the injured area, restoring blood flow, loading the body in safe ways, and leaning into an optimistic mindset. He explains how injuries can be turning points, moments to learn more about your body and build resilience for the future.

Have you ever thought about whether your recovery habits are helping you heal faster or keeping you stuck? Dr. Fix will make you rethink the way you care for yourself when injury strikes.
