Acute sporting injury?

Acute sporting injury? Get a physio assessment early (in the first week).  

Early assessment means you have the right management from the start, and you have a realistic expectation of when you’ll be able to return to sport.  

If you are aiming for a return too soon, you can end up delaying your progress, or even worse, return to play when you aren’t ready and re-injure. 

For example, a strain of the iliacus hip flexor muscle can often return to sport within 3 weeks, however, a strain of the rectus femoris hip flexor muscle can be over 3 months. How you spend those first few weeks is going to be very different, and the sooner you know this the better.  

Another example, an adductor longus insertion strain can return to sport in under a month, however an adductor longus avulsion injury can be closer top 10 weeks, or sometimes require surgery.  

Early assessment matters.  

If you have an acute sporting injury that you haven’t had assessed, give us a call, we’d love to help 😊
