As long as you stick to the R-I-C-E principle after a soft tissue injury, you can return to your full exercise program even if your injury is not completely healed.

A. True

B. False

False.

Explanation:

First of all, the RICE principle is a treatment that is normally used to reduce pain in patients with an injury, and consists of using ice to reduce the pain, while compressing the affected area with a bandage and elevating it as much as possible (Rest-Ice-Compression-elevation).

When treating an injury by this method, it is recommended that the tissue be completely recovered before starting the full exercise program.
