Sports physio FAQs
How soon after an injury should I see a sports physio?
Ideally within the first week. Early advice on what to load and what to rest usually speeds recovery and stops small problems becoming long ones.
Do I have to stop training completely?
Usually not. We'll show you what you can keep doing safely while the injury settles, so you lose as little fitness as possible.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the injury. Many people need 3–6 sessions, with exercises to do at home in between. You'll get an honest estimate at your first appointment.
Do you treat non-athletes?
Yes. If you're active and something hurts when you move, train or exercise, we can help.
