How Long Will My Injury Take To Get Better?

Many factors will influence your recovery. These include not only your exact injury, but other things such as whether you’ve had the injury before, how old you are and therefore how quickly you heal, your diet, whether you smoke, whether you adhere to your physiotherapist’s advice, whether you do your exercises, and your “constitution” or natural healing ability. One of the most important influences is when you seek treatment. The earlier you seek treatment and stick to your treatment plan, the better your likely outcome. This is because your body goes through specific healing phases, and if you seek treatment too late, or present for treatment too infrequently, your body will stop the healing process before you have completely healed. The healing phases are listed below, with the appropriate physiotherapy management listed. Your physiotherapist will construct your appointment cycle during your Results4Life™ session with you with these phases in mind. Click here to read more.
