“How long is this going to take?”

That is a question that almost everyone wants answered answer for on their first appointment

For acute injuries, if the assessment is thorough we should have an idea of which structure is affected, and how severe the injury is

Using this information we can determine how likely it is for the injury to heal within a certain timeframe

This helps to set realistic expectations from the beginning of the rehab process, which can reduce anxiety, frustration and feelings of “why is this taking so gosh darn long”

Knowing what you are dealing with is a great start, knowing how long it will take and what to expect when is the next step

Whenever you leave a physio appointment with an acute injury you should leave with a general understanding of

Whats going on
How long will this take
What can I do about it

This won’t always be cut and dry, but good physiotherapist should do there best to answer these questions from the first appointment, and if they can not - laying out a plan in terms of imaging or second opinions to make sure we can answer those questions as quickly as possible

Knee pain stopping you from running?

Overuse injuries such at tendon issues, patellofemoral pain or ITB pain can get really painful

The first natural response to this is to take time off and try again when it’s feeling better

But often, that next run causes a flare up, making you feel stuck

But often the answer isn’t to rest completely

So what can you do in these situations

1. Decrease running volume to a tolerable level

2. Monitor for flare ups - if the knee can tolerate less volume, make small progressions over time, and backing off when needed if flare ups occur

3. Strengthening the knee can make it more resilient to stress, which can allow the knee to tolerate more running volume over time

While this is the basic process I follow, having guidance, support and a clear plan can help get you back to your normal running schedule

If you are dealing with these problems and are interested in how I can help, send me a DM and we can chat about it!

Can I do this exercise with back pain?

How hard can I push things with my back pain?

These are questions that often come up in clinic, and theres not always a clear cut answer

Often this is a process of trial and error

However, one simple rule can help guide this process

The rule of 10 (credit to )

The premise is that your pain levels, and exercise intensity levels, when scaled from 1-10, both of those numbers should equal 10

So if your pain is high at an 8, exercise intensity should be at a 2 (and vice versa)

The general idea is that exercise intensity should match your bodies tolerance at that time

Exercise and movement is good for back pain, it’s all about finding the right dosage and increasing it as things improve!

Think you need an MRI for your back pain?

Not necessarily.

MRI can be extremely useful when there are concerning symptoms or when the results would change how we manage the problem. But for many cases of back pain, imaging doesn’t necessarily tell us what’s causing the pain — and incidental findings can sometimes create more worry than answers.

An MRI is a tool, not a diagnosis.

The first step is understanding the person, their symptoms, and what they’re trying to get back to.

If you’re having troubles with back pain and it sure what to do next - send me a DM or use the link in my bio to book an assessment!

Meniscus injury affecting your training?

I’m currently dealing with this myself

Here is my general approach to these problems

1. Keep it moving

2. Modify what aggravates it

3. Progressively load the knee in ways that are tolerable

The good news is that most meniscus injuries will heal on their own without surgery

There are no major exercises for this problem, rehab should be based on your symptoms, goals and the things that you want to get back to

Do you push through your pain no matter what?

Or to tend to avoid anything that might flare it up?

With chronic pain, getting stuck at either extreme can sometimes make recovery more difficult.

The goal isn’t to always push through or always avoid pain — it’s learning how to adapt, gradually build tolerance, and find the right level of challenge for you.

Recovery isn’t about doing more or less. It’s about doing what you can tolerate and progressively building from there.

Strength and mobility is back, but you’re still not fully confident .

Your rehab should also challenge your ability to sense, control and react to movement — and progressively apply those skills back to your sport.

The goal isn’t just to get strong again. It’s to trust your body, regain confidence and feel like you can perform at your highest level. 💪

Overuse problems killing your progress?

The answer isn’t more rest — it’s gradually building your capacity to tolerate the demands of your activity.
Modify the aggravating activity, progressively strengthen, and gradually build your way back up. đź’Ş

The goal isn’t always to avoid pain. It’s to build the capacity to get back to the activities that you love to do.

“I have sciatica.”

I hear this all the time from people coming in with back pain.

But pain travelling down your leg doesn’t automatically mean that you have a “pinched nerve.”

There are several different presentations of back and leg pain, and they don’t all require the same approach.

A proper assessment looks at more than just where you feel the pain. Strength, sensation, reflexes, movement and the pattern of your symptoms can all help determine what’s going on.

And importantly, non-specific back pain is still real pain. Not being able to identify one specific structure doesn’t mean that nothing is wrong.

If you’re dealing with back pain or pain travelling into your leg and aren’t sure what it means, that’s exactly what a physiotherapy assessment is for.
