Frequently Ask Question
Have questions? We’ve answered the most common ones to help you get the information you need quickly and easily.
Complete rest is rarely the best approach. Most sports injuries benefit from early, controlled movement to promote healing and prevent muscle wasting. We will guide you on exactly what activity is safe and beneficial at each stage of recovery.
This depends entirely on the injury, its severity, and your individual recovery. Rather than giving a generic timeframe, we use objective criteria — strength, mobility, confidence, and function — to determine when you are truly ready to return safely.
Yes. We are happy to liaise with coaches, trainers, or team medical staff to ensure your rehabilitation integrates seamlessly with your broader sporting programme.
