Sprain & Strain Treatment

What Are Sprains & Strains?

A sprain is the stretching or tearing of a ligament — the tissue connecting two bones — while a strain involves the stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon. Both injuries cause pain, swelling, bruising, and limited movement. Common sites include the ankle, knee, wrist, hamstrings, lower back, and calf.

Although often dismissed as minor injuries, untreated or poorly managed sprains and strains can lead to chronic instability, weakness, and re-injury. Physiotherapy accelerates healing by reducing inflammation, restoring tissue flexibility, and rebuilding the strength and coordination needed to protect the injured area.

Who Can Benefit?

• Athletes and active individuals with acute or recurrent sprains
• Patients with ankle, knee, or wrist sprains after a twist or fall
• Those with muscle strains in the hamstring, calf, groin, or lower back
• Individuals with persistent stiffness or weakness following an old injury
• Anyone wanting to return safely to sport or daily activities after injury
