Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a physiotherapist after a sports injury?

You should see a physiotherapist as soon as possible after a sports injury, ideally within 24-72 hours. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes by managing inflammation, preventing compensatory movement patterns, and starting appropriate rehabilitation promptly. Even if you think it's just a minor injury, early assessment can prevent it from becoming a chronic problem.

How do I know when it's safe to return to my sport after an injury?

Returning to sport should follow a structured return-to-play protocol guided by your physiotherapist. Generally, it's safe when you have: full, pain-free range of motion; strength comparable to the uninjured side (typically at least 90%); sport-specific functional testing that demonstrates normal movement patterns; and confidence in the injured area. We use objective measures and staged progression to ensure you return safely.

Can physiotherapy help prevent sports injuries?

Absolutely. Preventive physiotherapy can significantly reduce your risk of sports injuries through several approaches: identifying and addressing movement dysfunctions before they cause problems; designing sport-specific conditioning programs to build resilience; analyzing your technique and making corrections; and creating personalized warm-up routines that prepare your body for your specific sport demands.
