FAQs

Common questions

When can I get back to playing sport?

That depends on the injury, but we'll set clear return-to-sport milestones so you know you're actually ready, not just pain-free, but strong and in control.

Should I rest or keep moving after a sports injury?

Usually some movement helps more than complete rest, but it depends on the injury. We'll tell you exactly what's safe to do while it settles.

Do you help prevent injuries, not just treat them?

Yes, a big part of sports physio is building back strength and control and advising on training load so the same injury doesn't keep coming back.
