Metatarsal 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’ve been doing should have helped improve your movement and overall function. The injury you sustained typically takes six weeks to heal, and it’s common to experience pain or swelling for up to three months afterward. Please continue using pain relief as needed.

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

We don’t 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 don’t hear from you within three months, you will be discharged back to the care of your general practitioner.

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