The acronym RICE stands for:

• Rest
• Ice
• Compression
• Elevation

It is a common mnemonic used to remember the treatment for minor soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, and bruises.

More recently, some experts recommend replacing RICE with PEACE and LOVE. PEACE stands for Protection, Elevation, Avoid Anti-Inflammatories, Compression, and Education. LOVE stands for Load, Optimism, Vascularisation, and Exercise.
