FAQs

Sports Physiotherapy Questions Answered

Should I rest or keep training after a sports injury?+

This depends on the type and severity of the injury. Our sports physiotherapists follow the PEACE & LOVE protocol for acute injuries — initial protection and load management, followed by gradual return to activity. Completely stopping all activity is rarely recommended. We will guide you on safe exercise modifications while you recover.

How long will it take to return to sport after injury?+

Return-to-sport timelines vary significantly depending on the injury. A mild muscle strain may resolve in 1–2 weeks, while a ligament reconstruction can take 9–12 months. Our sports physiotherapists provide realistic, evidence-based return-to-sport criteria specific to your sport and level of play.

Can sports physiotherapy help with injury prevention?+

Absolutely. Injury prevention is a key part of what we do. Our sports physiotherapists can conduct movement screenings, identify biomechanical risk factors, and prescribe targeted strength and conditioning programs to reduce your risk of future injury.

Do you manage concussion?+

Yes, our sports physiotherapists are trained in concussion assessment and graduated return-to-sport protocols. We follow the latest Concussion in Sport Group guidelines and work collaboratively with sports physicians where required.
