    Dear Editor,

    We recently reviewed the article " Soft-tissue Injuries Simply Need PEACE and LOVE" in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

We hope this discussion will inspire further research on this significant topic.

    Soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains, contusions, tendinitis, and bursitis) require complicated rehabilitation. The abbreviations used to guide their administration have changed throughout time, going from ICE to RICE (2), then PRICE (3) and POLICE (4). There is not enough evidence to support these treatments, despite their widespread usage. Under the ICE/RICE/PRICE approach, acute care gets priority over sub-acute and chronic phases of tissue rehabilitation.

    The P.E.A.C.E and L.O.V.E. approach addresses the long-term effects and condition management in addition to the immediate therapy of a soft tissue injury. These acronyms offer a promising alternative to traditional acute injury management techniques like RICE. (1) These two new acronyms cover soft tissue injury management, from first care to post-injury management. As a result, it is regarded as a practical principle that encourages optimal healing and lowers the likelihood of damage recurrence. (5)
