Sports Injury - F.A.Q.

A sports injury is any physical damage to muscles, bones, ligaments, or joints that occurs during sports, exercise, or physical activity.

If you experience persistent pain, swelling, reduced range of motion, or difficulty walking or performing activities, you should consult a physiotherapist immediately.

Recovery time varies depending on the injury’s severity, location, and your body’s healing response. It could range from a few days to several weeks or months.

You’ll undergo a physical assessment, followed by treatments such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, taping, electrotherapy, or rehab planning based on your injury.
