Introduction[edit | edit source]

Acute soft tissue injuries have classically been managed through various acronyms the most well known being RICE and POLICE. These acronyms have been around for many years and focus primarily on the acute stages of a soft tissue injury, as research has progressed these acronyms have become outdated an inaccurate. For example we now know that the use of NSAIDs in an acute injury can actually be detrimental to the recovery and healing process.[1]
