Which Injuries Is PEACE & LOVE Good For?
The PEACE & LOVE protocol is designed for acute soft-tissue injuries — the kinds of injuries that affect muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and fascia. These are the most common everyday injuries and are exactly the situations where RICE used to be recommended.
PEACE & LOVE is effective for:
✔ Sprains
Ankle sprains
Wrist sprains
Knee ligament sprains
✔ Strains
Hamstring or quad strains
Calf strains
Back muscle strains
Shoulder or neck strains
✔ Muscle tears (mild to moderate)
Grade I and II muscle tears
Overstretch injuries
✔ Ligament injuries (non-surgical)
Partial ACL or MCL sprains
Lateral ankle ligament injuries
Finger ligament sprains
✔ Tendon overload injuries
Mild tendon irritation or flare-ups
Early-stage tendon inflammation (e.g., Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
✔ Contusions (bruises)
Impacts from falls
Contact-sport knocks
Deep-tissue bruising
✔ Joint injuries (non-fracture)
Minor shoulder injuries
Mild hip or knee trauma
Elbow sprains or strains
✔ Overuse or repetitive strain injuries
Used gently and adaptively, PEACE & LOVE helps with:
Upper back/neck strain
Tennis elbow
Mild plantar fascia irritation
When PEACE & LOVE Is Not Enough on Its Own
This protocol is for soft-tissue injuries, not for conditions requiring emergency care.
Seek medical assessment when there is:
Suspected fracture or broken bone
Visible deformity
Inability to bear weight
Sharp, worsening pain
Numbness, tingling, or loss of function
Head injury
Severe swelling that increases quickly
Why It Works So Well
PEACE & LOVE supports:
natural inflammation (your body’s repair mechanism)
gentle protection without immobilisation
early movement that stimulates tissue regeneration
long-term strengthening through loading and exercise
a positive mindset for improved nervous system regulation and healing
healthy blood flow, which is essential for recovery
