Base of 5th Phase 4 (6 weeks onwards)

In the below video you will find further information to support your recovery.

6 Weeks Post Injury

Hello, my name is Andy Brogdon, and I am an orthopaedic specialist physiotherapist.

The exercises you have been doing should have improved your movement and overall function. The injury you sustained typically takes six weeks to heal, and it’s not uncommon to experience pain or swelling for up to three months post-injury. Please continue using pain relief as needed.

If you are satisfied with your recovery, you can discontinue the exercises. You may return to sports after six weeks if you feel ready.

We do not routinely follow up on this type of injury. However, if you continue to experience pain after three months, please contact us for further consultation. If we do not hear from you within three months, you will be discharged back to the care of your general practitioner.

PHASE 1 (0 to 2 weeks) PHASE 2 (2 to 4 weeks) PHASE 3 (4 to 6 weeks)
