Sports Massage And Soft Tissue Therapy - The Healing Timeline

Injuries happen, but knowing the timeline can make all the difference in your recovery.

From that initial injury to getting back in action. 

The first thing we need to understand is that, every injury has a different timescale. While the phases on the timeline remain the same, the duration of each phase varies massively from person to person and from injury to injury.

Here’s what to expect:

1️⃣ Initial Injury: Pain, swelling, and discomfort are your body's way of saying, “something's not right.”

2️⃣ Inflammation Phase (Days 0-7): This is your body cleaning things up, but it can be a bit uncomfortable. Ice, rest, and elevation are your allies.

3️⃣ Repair Phase (Days 7-21): Your body starts building tissue and restoring function. Pain starts to ease, and mobility improves.

4️⃣ Remodelling Phase (Weeks-Months): This is your body fine-tuning things and making things stronger, although some scar tissue might be left behind.

5️⃣ Full Recovery (Months-Years): Patience pays off. Your unique road to full recovery may take time, but you will get there.

Now, how can we speed up and optimise this process for a faster recovery?
