RICE is for Eating (CMT Micro Module)
For decades, the R.I.C.E. protocol—Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation—was considered the standard treatment for acute soft tissue injuries. Ice was believed to reduce tissue damage by limiting inflammation, making it a cornerstone of injury management.
Today, our understanding of the healing process has changed. Rather than suppressing inflammation, we now recognise it as an essential part of tissue repair.
In this module, Aubrey examines the evidence behind the RICE protocol and presents a more effective approach to managing acute injuries that can support faster recovery and reduce the risk of re-injury.
