🩹 Still waiting for it to heal by itself?
Rest, ice and a little time can be exactly what some minor aches and injuries need. But if the days are turning into weeks and you’re still in pain, stiff, swollen or changing the way you move to compensate, it may be time to stop waiting and get it assessed.
Musculoskeletal problems don’t always improve simply by resting them for longer. Prolonged inactivity can sometimes contribute to:
• Loss of strength and flexibility
• Increased stiffness
• Reduced confidence in movement
• Compensation elsewhere in the body
• A longer road back to normal activity
And while ice can be useful for short-term pain relief following some injuries, it isn’t a treatment for the underlying cause of persistent pain.
If something just isn’t getting better, you don’t have to keep hoping it will suddenly disappear. A physiotherapy assessment can help identify what’s going on and whether you need treatment, specific exercises, gradual strengthening or simply reassurance that you’re safe to start moving again.
