Toughing it out might feel like part of the game, but ignoring post-injury warning signs can slow your comeback and make things worse in the long run. If you’re still sore or moving awkwardly weeks after a knock, it may be time to think about sports injury rehab.
Whether you’re backing up after a hard-fought rugby match, nursing a netball sprain, or feeling off after a surf or long-distance run, your body gives clues when it’s struggling to heal.
Signs Your Body May Need Extra Help
Some injuries settle with rest, but others linger. Watch for these signals that might mean you need professional care:
- Pain that doesn’t ease with time
- Limited range of motion or stiffness
- Muscle weakness or imbalance
- Swelling that won’t go away
- Discomfort during specific movements or sport
