Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do you rehab a sports injury?

Sports injury rehabilitation typically involves a multifaceted approach tailored to the specific needs of the athlete and the nature of the injury. Treatment may include a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, functional training, modalities (such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation), and injury-specific protocols aimed at promoting tissue healing, restoring mobility, and improving strength and function.

What is an example of rehab in sports?

An example of sports injury rehabilitation may involve a phased approach to recovery, starting with acute injury management (such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation), followed by progressive exercises targeting flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination. As the athlete progresses, rehabilitation may include sport-specific drills, agility training, and functional movements to simulate the demands of their sport and facilitate a safe return to play.

How long does injury rehab take?

The duration of injury rehabilitation varies depending on the type, severity, and complexity of the injury, as well as individual factors such as age, fitness level, and adherence to the rehabilitation program. While some injuries may require only a few weeks of rehabilitation, others may take several months or longer to fully recover. Our physiotherapists work closely with athletes to establish realistic expectations and milestones throughout the rehabilitation process.

How long after injury can you start rehab?

The timing of sports injury rehabilitation depends on the nature and extent of the injury, as well as recommendations from the treating healthcare provider. In many cases, rehabilitation may begin as soon as the acute phase of injury management is completed and the athlete is medically cleared to begin gentle movement and exercises. Early intervention with rehabilitation can help minimize pain, prevent secondary complications, and expedite the recovery process.
