PEACE✌️& LOVE❤️ Instead of Ice🧊 for Soft Tissue Injuries🤕!⠀
⠀
Traditionally, we were taught to initially approach every soft tissue injury through the RICE method, which was Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Over time, we’ve learned that evidence for this approach was limited and becoming outdated, yet the catchy acronym was hard to deviate from.⠀
⠀
As our understanding on the human body evolves and we learn more about its resiliency and adaptability, these two acronyms PEACE & LOVE were introduced from The Running Clinic, Canada🇨🇦 in their BJSM journal article from 2019 (Dubois B, Esculier J-F, Br J Sports Med January 2020 Vol 54 No 2).

PEACE & LOVE is a more proactive approach to allowing the human body undergo its normal inflammatory response to begin the healing process of a soft tissue injury.⠀
⠀
✅Protection: Unload or limit movement for 1-3 days to protect the tissue. Rest should be minimal due to negative impact of prolonged rest.⠀
⠀
✅Elevation: Keeping the injured limb elevated at a height above the heart to assist with flow of interstitial fluids out. Low risk-benefit ratio.⠀
⠀
✅Avoid anti-inflammatories: Using medications such as Advil (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxen sodium) that blunt inflammation or icing can have negative impacts on long-term tissue healing. Efficacy of using ice is limited (I used this modality too often in the past🙄), and typically just has a numbing effect for the skin.⠀
⠀
✅Compression: Taping or wraps can be helpful in reducing excess swelling.⠀
⠀
✅Education: There are more benefits with a more active approach to recovery versus relying on passive interventions.⠀
⠀
&⠀
⠀
✅Load: Reintroduce gradual load to the tissue within your tolerance, but don’t ignore any increase in pain.⠀
⠀
✅Optimism: Positive thinking and outlook is associated with better outcomes and prognosis!⠀
⠀
✅Vascularization: Start pain-free aerobic activity to increase blood flow to the injured area to promote your body’s healing process.⠀
⠀
✅Exercise: Restore mobility, strength and proprioception early after injury to improve long-term outcomes.

Are you tired of being seen with multiple other patients simultaneously? Do you feel that you’re not getting better at the right pace because you’re not getting the most out of each session? Are you only doing exercises that you can easily do at home?

When dealing with neck pain, one common area to look at is the thoracic spine and see how well you move through that area. Here we show a simple test to assess the ease of rotation and an exercise to immediately address a deficit on one side. The goal is to complete a minimum of 10-20 repetitions for 1-2 sets and re-assess for any changes.⠀
⠀
If you’re dealing with neck pain and want to learn more specific strategies to address your pain, you can reach us by phone📱at (201)429-3996, DM 📲 or email 📧 at jpark@hybridptnj.com!⠀

The cat/camel or cat/cow exercise is often given to work on improving spinal mobility and control. Mobility is your ability how well you can control movement at your joints. A simple but effective strategy is to coordinate your breathing with each movement, where you exhale fully as you go into the cat position (arched or flexed spine) and inhale deeply as you go into the camel position (extended spine). These two phases of breathing are synced with those spinal mic members.⠀
⠀
While the benefits of improving your spinal mobility can apply to different pain issues, it is most important to seek out a health professional for what you specifically need.⠀

Failure often gets looked at as a big negative and something that we want to avoid at all times. Some of our patients that come to see us have “failed” other treatment approaches, even physical therapy. Those “failures” are very important pieces of information to help us figure out what can still help you. Sometimes those “failed” interventions were actually helping but the patient was not made aware enough of it. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
While we can’t promise a unique magical solution that can’t be given anywhere else, what we can offer is the most time to our patients to allow us to perform a thorough review of how you’re moving, where you’re not moving well, and how to improve that to start feeling better! We also offer extensive support for our patients so they can always reach out to us with any questions or concerns, even outside of our clinic hours. Our help never ends until you’ve achieved the goal that you set out for yourself!⠀⠀

Welcome to Hybrid PT

At Hybrid PT, we are committed to helping active adults and athletes relieve pain, move better and get strong so they can return to the activities they love. For some, it is the ability to finish a tennis match or play a round of golf without feeling like they're out of commission. For others, it is being able to walk their dog or play with their children without hesitation or fear. Whatever your goal may be, know that we are dedicated in helping you achieve them.

Many of our patients come to us after being disappointed by past experiences. They had been told by their doctors to simply take pain medications and see how things go, or had been to physical therapy before where they spent at most 15 minutes with their physical therapist. Others had been instructed to stop running, playing basketball or participating in CrossFit, despite how important and fulfilling these activities were.

We understand that the human body is extremely resilient and has the incredible ability to heal from most injuries. Our priority is to direct you in that process so you can take control over your health and return to those activities that you love most!
