When you’re injured, the first instinct is often to rest. And yes, in the early stages of an injury, especially within the first 48 to 72 hours, rest can be helpful. But beyond that, doing nothing can actually slow your recovery and cause other problems like stiffness, weakness or compensation elsewhere in the body.
As a Sports Therapist with over 18 years of experience, I’ve worked with clients at every stage of recovery from elite athletes to everyday people dealing with sprains, strains, post-surgery rehab and more. And one thing remains true: targeted movement and structured rehabilitation play a critical role in long-term recovery.
When we stop moving completely, our muscles weaken, our joints stiffen, and circulation slows down, all of which can prolong pain and delay healing. What most injuries need is the right kind of movement at the right time.
That’s where expert guidance makes a difference.
Every recovery plan I create is personalised to your body, lifestyle and goals. After assessing your injury, we’ll work through:
Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, surgery or simply an ongoing ache that won’t shift, I’ll help you move forward safely and effectively.
If you’ve been told to “just rest” and nothing’s improving, it may be time to take a different approach. Getting the right support early on can make all the difference.
