Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of physiotherapy in sports injury?
Physiotherapy evaluates the injury, manages pain and swelling, restores safe movement, builds strength and balance, and provides a step-by-step plan to return to sport safely. Physiotherapists also educate on load management, warm-ups, proper techniques and tailor rehab to athlete.
What is the best treatment for sports injuries?
There’s no single “best” for every injury — early first aid (protection, rest/relative rest, ice/compression/elevation) followed by a structured rehab program (pain control, mobility, progressive strengthening, neuromuscular training) provides the best outcomes for most injuries. Surgery or injections are considered only if conservative rehab fails.
When to start rehab after an injury?
Start as soon as it’s safe — often within days to a week for soft-tissue injuries once severe bleeding/swelling is controlled. Early guided movement (not aggressive loading) speeds recovery prevents stiffness and reduces loss of function your physiotherapist will advise the right timing and progressions.
What is the hardest sports injury to recover from?
Ligament ruptures that need surgery (like ACL tears) and major tendon ruptures (Achilles) are among the longest and toughest to recover from. They often require months of rehab and careful progression to return to full sport. Complex spinal or neurological injuries are also among the most serious.
How to recover faster from a sports injury?
Helpful, evidence-based steps:
- Get an early assessment and follow a progressive rehab plan.
- Balance rest with safe movement — short, pain-limited activity improves blood flow and healing.
- Follow strength, mobility and neuromuscular exercises your physiotherapist prescribes.
Manage sleep, nutrition and weight, and avoid returning to sport too early.
Can physiotherapy be done during pain?
Yes — often. “Pain-free” is ideal, but many programs use pain-limited exercise (controlled, tolerable discomfort) to rebuild movement and strength. Sharp, worsening, or neurological pain (numbness, sudden weakness) needs to be review so stop those exercises and see your therapist.
Can I do physical therapy at home?
Yes — many rehab programs include home exercises and telehealth sessions. Home PT is effective when you follow a therapist’s program, use correct technique (ask for demos/videos), and check in regularly so progressions and form are corrected. For complex injuries, it is recommended to attend for some sessions in the clinic for more supervision.
