Strains, sprains and everything in between
Muscle and ligament injuries can happen during sport, exercise, work or everyday activities. Whether it’s a strain, a sprain or ongoing pain after an injury, early assessment and the right plan can speed up recovery and reduce the risk of ongoing problems.
Muscle strains happen when fibres are overstretched or torn; commonly in the calf, hamstring, quad, neck or lower back, bringing pain, tightness, weakness or bruising. Ligament sprains happen when the tough bands connecting your bones are stretched or torn, usually from a sudden twist, fall or impact, most often at the ankle, knee, wrist or thumb, with pain, swelling and instability as the tell-tale signs.
Get moving again, the right way
A thorough assessment pinpoints exactly what’s injured and how severe it is. From there, treatment might include hands-on therapy, movement-based rehab, strength work, and practical guidance on easing back into work, exercise or sport.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How long do muscle and ligament injuries take to heal?
Mild strains and sprains often improve within a few weeks; more significant injuries can take a few months. We’ll give you a clear recovery timeline after assessment.
Should I keep exercising with a strain or sprain?
Usually yes, within limits; complete rest is rarely the best option, and the right amount of movement, guided properly, tends to speed things up.
When should I get a strain or sprain checked out?
If pain, swelling, instability or reduced movement is still bothering you after a few days, or you can’t get back to normal activities, it’s worth getting it properly assessed.
