There is currently a great deal of debate in physical therapy over the best way to approach minor sprains and strains and whether the traditional use of ice and heat to curb swelling is beneficial to the healing process. Rather than the traditional RICE approach, many therapists now recommend the PEACE and LOVE approach, emphasising rest and then gradual reloading, with the supervision of a qualified physical therapist to help you understand your body and the best way to take an active role in your own recovery.
If you feel that your injury is serious enough that it won’t clear up within a few days, resting the affected area and getting a professional diagnosis and advice on your injury is the best first step you can generally take. This will also help you to understand how long your recovery is likely to take and what steps you can do to help yourself, all of which will help you to keep a positive attitude and take constructive steps towards your own recovery.
One of the most common reasons injuries recur is going back too soon or going back without addressing what caused the injury in the first place.
Our rehabilitation approach is structured and specific. We use progressive loading protocols to rebuild strength and function in the affected area, establish clear return to sport milestones you can measure yourself against and make sure you understand how to train around your injury during recovery without making it worse.
This isn’t generic advice. It’s a plan built around your body, your injury, your sport and your timeline.
Our sports injury clinic is based in Bletchley, Milton Keynes and we treat patients from across the area including Newport Pagnell, Woburn Sands, Buckingham, Leighton Buzzard and Bedford.
