Frequently Asked Questions

How does rehabilitation help in recovering from a sports injury?
Rehabilitation is important for regaining strength, flexibility and function after a sports injury. A personalised rehabilitation plan focuses on rebuilding the affected area through targeted exercises and manual therapy. This ensures a safe return to activity, reducing the risk of further injury.
What is the role of manual therapy in injury rehabilitation?
Manual therapy is used to relieve pain, improve mobility and restore function. Techniques like massage and joint mobilisation help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation and facilitate healing. It plays a key role in injury rehabilitation, complementing exercise programs to enhance overall recovery.
How long does it take to recover from an injury with rehabilitation?
The duration of rehabilitation depends on the severity of the injury and your progress. Minor injuries may require only a few weeks of therapy, while more serious injuries or surgeries could take several months. Regular assessments ensure the rehabilitation plan is adjusted to optimise recovery and return to activity.

When Can Sport & Injury Rehabilitation Help?

Rehabilitation is important for a wide variety of injuries and conditions. Here are common scenarios where it can make a significant difference:

Acute Sports Injuries: If you’ve experienced a sprain, strain, or ligament injury, rehabilitation can help you regain strength and stability, reducing the risk of re-injury.
Post-Surgical Recovery: After surgeries such as ACL repair or rotator cuff repair, rehabilitation is key to regaining full function and returning to your normal activities.
Chronic Injuries: Long-standing injuries like tendonitis or back pain benefit from rehabilitation that targets both pain relief and functional recovery.
