Acute Injury Recovery: R.I.C.E. vs. R.A.C.E - Spectrum Healthcare

We’ve all heard the R.I.C.E. acronym when it comes to acute injuries. Rest, ice, compress, elevate. For years this has been the accepted practice for acute injuries. However, more recent evidence suggest that this analogy may not be the quickest way to get back in the game. The new acronym of R.A.C.E may be a better choice when addressing early injury (Recover Actively, Compress, Elevate).
