What are the steps in the P.R.I.C.E procedure?

The P.R.I.C.E. procedure is a method used for managing soft tissue injuries. It stands for Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. First, protect the injured area to prevent further damage. Next, rest the injury to promote healing, apply ice to reduce swelling, use compression to minimize swelling, and elevate the injured area to decrease blood flow and swelling.
