- What NOT to do
Sub-Acute Phase (3 days – 3 weeks)
- Gentle range of motion
- Light strengthening
- Swelling management
- Progression indicators
Rehabilitation Phase (3-12 weeks)
- Progressive strengthening
- Functional exercises
- Sport-specific training
- Balance and proprioception
Return to Sport Phase (12+ weeks)

- Performance testing
- Gradual return protocols
- Injury prevention strategies
See a sports physiotherapist immediately after any acute injury, when pain persists beyond a few days, if you notice decreased performance, or for preventive screening before starting intense training.
Sports physiotherapists have specialized training in athletic injuries, biomechanics, sport-specific movements, and return-to-play protocols. We understand the demands of your sport and design rehabilitation programs that safely return you to peak performance.
Recovery timelines vary: minor sprains may take 2-4 weeks, moderate injuries 6-12 weeks, and major injuries like ACL tears may require 6-12 months. We provide realistic timelines based on your specific injury and goals.
It depends on the injury severity. We often modify training to maintain fitness while protecting the injured area. Complete rest is rarely necessary and can delay recovery.
Follow the PEACE & LOVE protocol: Protect, Elevate, Avoid anti-inflammatories (initially), Compress, Educate; Load optimally, Optimism, Vascularization, Exercise. Seek professional assessment within 24-48 hours
No referral is needed. You can directly book a consultation with our sports physiotherapists
Most patients require 6-12 sessions depending on injury severity, but you’ll see progress within the first few visits. We reassess regularly and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
ACL tears typically involve a “pop” sound, immediate swelling, instability, and inability to continue activity. However, diagnosis requires physical examination and often MRI confirmation.
A sprain affects ligaments (connecting bones), while a strain affects muscles or tendons (connecting muscles to bones). Treatment approaches differ based on the tissue involved.
Many knee injuries can be successfully treated conservatively with physiotherapy. We work closely with orthopedic surgeons and provide evidence-based guidance on surgical vs. conservative management.
Not all sounds indicate problems. Pain-free clicking is often benign, but painful popping or clicking with swelling requires assessment
We use manual therapy, dry needling, exercise therapy, taping techniques, biomechanical analysis, progressive loading, proprioceptive training, and sport-specific functional training.
Some techniques may cause temporary discomfort, but we work within your tolerance. Pain should never be severe, and you’re always in control.
For acute injuries (first 48-72 hours), use ice to reduce swelling. After that, heat can improve blood flow and reduce stiffness. Your physiotherapist will guide you.
In many cases, yes. Evidence shows that comprehensive physiotherapy can be as effective as surgery for conditions like meniscus tears, rotator cuff injuries, and certain ACL tears.
Return-to-sport decisions are based on objective criteria: pain-free range of motion, adequate strength (typically 90% of uninjured side), sport-specific functional tests, and psychological readiness. We guide you through each milestone.
