Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after an injury should I see a physiotherapist?
The sooner the better. Early intervention within 48-72 hours can significantly reduce recovery time. We provide acute injury management including swelling control, pain relief, and protected movement to start healing immediately.
Can I continue training while undergoing physiotherapy?
In most cases, yes — with modifications. We design your rehab to work alongside your training schedule. We'll tell you exactly what you can and can't do at each stage of recovery, and adjust your training load accordingly.
How long does sports injury recovery typically take?
This varies widely by injury. A mild ankle sprain may take 2-4 weeks, while an ACL reconstruction recovery takes 9-12 months. We set clear timelines based on tissue healing rates and use objective tests to track your progress.
Do you work with competitive or professional athletes?
Yes. We work with athletes from recreational weekend warriors to competitive state and national-level athletes. Our approach is the same — evidence-based, goal-oriented rehabilitation tailored to your sport and competition level.
What makes sports physiotherapy different from regular physiotherapy?
Sports physio goes beyond pain relief. We address sport-specific movement patterns, strength requirements, and performance demands. The goal isn't just "no pain" — it's returning you to full competitive performance with reduced re-injury risk.
