The 3 Phases of Healing 💜
Healing doesn't happen overnight, your body goes through three important stages to recover after an injury:
1. Acute Phase
This is the body's immediate response to an injury. Swelling, bruising, and inflammation occur as your body begins protecting and healing the affected area.
2. Repair Phase
During this stage, new collagen fibres are laid down to repair the damaged tissue. This creates the foundation for healing, but the tissue is still delicate.
3. Remodeling Phase
The collagen fibres continue to strengthen and reorganize, helping your muscles, tendons, and ligaments regain their strength, flexibility, and function so you can return to your daily activities safely.
At Liora Leslie Physiotherapy, we're here to guide you through every stage of recovery. From managing pain and inflammation in the early phase to restoring strength and movement, we support your healing journey from start to finish.
