We hear this day in day out.
“I’ve been to see my GP about my injury and the GP has told me to just rest for 6 weeks & take painkillers, isn’t that enough?”
Our response is: “Do you want to rest for 6 weeks? Can you afford to rest for 6 weeks?”
Yes, some injuries will just improve by themselves with a bit of rest and some painkillers. But what constitutes ‘rest’? What if it’s not getting better in 6 weeks? What effect will ‘rest’ have on the rest of my body?
This advice can often throw up more questions than solutions.
By seeking expert guidance and advice at the early stages of an injury, you are more likely to:
- Keep being able to do the things you physically enjoy doing
- Prevent any secondary problems developing from enforced rest or not moving properly
- Speed up your recovery
- Prevent future reoccurrence of your injury
