Where does it hurt?

Following an injury it is important to stop what you are doing and rest. Therefore minimising the risk of further damage being caused which could result in a longer period of recovery and a more extended treatment programme.

In the early stages following injury you should refer to the RICE methodology (rest, ice, compression and elevation). This process helps to minimise any inflammation, pain and swelling associated with the injury and has been shown to significantly hasten healing and injury recovery. Should you fail to see any signs of improvement after this initial management then you should seek medical advice.

The first step in rehabilitation is diagnosis, essential to ensure the most effective treatment is undertaken.
