PEACE & LOVE METHOD 

Tired of the traditional RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) method for treating sprained ankles, groin strains, and hamstring pulls? Introducing the PEACE & LOVE Method, a newer, more effective approach to sports injury recovery.

​

What is the PEACE & LOVE Method?

  • Protect: Protect the injured area from further damage by limiting activities that cause pain.

  • Assess: Evaluate the extent of the injury and seek medical attention if necessary.

  • Compress: Apply gentle compression to the injured area to help control swelling.

  • Educate: Learn about your injury and recovery process from a healthcare professional.

  • Load: Gradually increase activity levels as tolerated to promote healing and prevent stiffness.

  • Optimism: Maintain a positive outlook and believe in your ability to recover.

  • Voluntary exercise: Engage in low-impact exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and balance.

  • Early mobilization: Start moving the injured area gently as soon as possible.


Why choose the PEACE & LOVE Method?

  • Faster recovery: Studies have shown that the PEACE & LOVE Method can lead to quicker recovery times compared to the RICE.

  • Reduced pain: By focusing on active recovery & reducing inflammation, the PEACE & LOVE Method can help alleviate pain & discomfort.

TESTIMONIALS

"Courtney has been instrumental in the function of my knees and hamstring strength and health. Her attention to detail and her genuine concern for my healing has been such a relief and given me the ability to get back to my functional fitness training pain free"

Shannon K

"I highly recommend CD Physical Therapy. My daughter was told she had a season ending severe bone bruise injury. Thanks to Courtney, who customizes PT based on the injury and the patient, my daughter was able to get back on the field in half the time. My daughter enjoyed going to PT because she had the individual attention of Courtney focused on just her needs. I highly recommend CD Physical Therapy to anyone."

"Courtney helped me identify flexibility and weak muscle groups that were contributing to significant pain during ultra running. She was thorough in her analysis and detailed in her prescriptive exercises, targeting the muscles causing my issues. Her medical knowledge and genuine  concern for my well being is something that makes her my FIRST recommendation to friends and family. Thanks for helping "fix" me!"

HELPFUL RESOURCES

GRASTON TECHNIQUE®: A BREAKTHROUGH IN SOFT TISSUE THERAPY

The Graston Technique® (GT) is a revolutionary, evidence-based approach to soft tissue mobilization. This innovative technique utilizes specially designed instruments to detect and address soft tissue lesions and fascial restrictions, leading to improved patient outcomes.

How Graston Technique Works:

  • Accurate diagnosis: GT instruments help identify areas of chronic inflammation and fibrosis.

  • Effective treatment: The instruments are used to break down adhesions and improve tissue mobility.

  • Faster recovery: GT can accelerate the healing process and reduce pain.


Benefits of Graston Technique:

  • Alleviate chronic pain and discomfort.

  • Increase flexibility and mobility.

  • Restore normal function and improve performance.

BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION

Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a revolutionary technique that combines low-intensity exercise with controlled blood flow occlusion. This unique approach delivers similar results to high-intensity training without the need for heavy weights or strenuous workouts.

How BFR Works:

  • Controlled blood flow: A pneumatic cuff or band is applied to the limb being exercised, restricting blood flow.

  • Low-intensity exercise: You perform exercises at a lower resistance than you would typically use.

  • Increased metabolic stress: BFR creates a controlled metabolic stress environment, which can lead to faster muscle growth and strength gains.


Benefits of BFR Training:

  • Faster muscle growth.

  • Increased strength

  • Reduced risk of injury.

  • Improved rehabilitation.
