FAQ:  How The Chronic Injury Recovery Plan Can Help You.

Q: How soon will I see results?


A: Chronic injuries heal gradually, so results vary. Many notice reduced pain and better movement within weeks, but full recovery could take months depending on severity and consistency. This package is built for steady progress, not quick fixes, ensuring lasting benefits.

Q: what is a chronic inflammatory injury and what's the difference from an acute injury.

A:  A chronic inflammatory injury refers to ongoing or repeated damage to tissues or organs caused by persistent inflammation. Unlike acute injury (e.g., a sprained ankle that heals in days or weeks), chronic inflammatory injury develops when the body’s inflammatory response doesn’t shut off or keeps getting retriggered. This prolonged process can harm healthy cells, tissues, or organs over time, leading to scarring, dysfunction, or disease.

Q:What makes this package different from general injury treatments?


A: This package is specifically designed for chronic inflammatory injuries, which involve ongoing inflammation and tissue damage. Unlike treatments for acute injuries that focus on immediate relief (like ice or rest), this combines soft tissue therapy to address long-term tissue dysfunction and rehab exercises to rebuild strength and function, targeting the root causes of your condition.

Q: Why is soft tissue therapy included in this package?

 

A: Chronic inflammation often leads to scar tissue, stiffness, and restricted movement in muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Soft tissue therapy like massage, myofascial release, or soft tissue release breaks down adhesions, improves blood flow, and restores flexibility. It’s essential for reducing pain and preparing your body for rehab exercises.

Q: How do rehab exercises help with my chronic injury?

A: Rehab exercises strengthen weakened areas, improve mobility, and retrain your body to move correctly. For chronic inflammatory injuries, they help prevent further damage by building resilience in the affected tissues. This package uses tailored exercises to progressively load your tissues, supporting healing without overloading them.

Q: Is this package suitable if I’ve had my injury for a long time?

A: Yes! Chronic injuries linger because inflammation and tissue damage persist or recur. This package is ideal for long-term conditions, it tackles the prolonged effects of inflammation and helps reverse dysfunction that’s built up over time, unlike short-term fixes that only mask symptoms.

Q: Will this package work if other treatments haven’t helped?

A: If previous treatments focused only on symptoms (e.g., painkillers or rest) and didn’t address tissue health or strength, they may have fallen short. This package takes a comprehensive approach, combining hands-on therapy, mitigation of the causal factors and exercises to restore function, offering a better shot at lasting recovery.

Q: Why not just use medication or injections instead?

A: Medication and corticosteroid injections can temporarily mask your pain by reducing inflammation and discomfort. However, pain is your body's way of signalling that something needs attention, masking it without addressing the cause can allow the underlying problem to persist or worsen.

While corticosteroid injections may provide short-term relief and create an opportunity for better rehabilitation, they do not resolve the root cause of chronic injuries and can come with potential side effects.

Our package is designed to tackle the main factors contributing to your chronic injury. By addressing these underlying stressors, we help you not just manage the symptoms but actively support your body’s recovery and long-term resilience.

Q:  Why should I choose this package over doing exercises on my own?

A:  Self-guided exercises might aggravate your injury if not done correctly. This package pairs expert-led soft tissue therapy with a structured rehab plan, customized to your injury’s stage and your body’s limits, maximizing healing while minimizing risk.
