FAQ
Common questions
Ask anything else at your appointment.
Is this instead of seeing a physiotherapist?
No, it works alongside physio. Your practitioner adds a medical check and can refer you.
Should I get a scan first?
Usually not. Scans often show changes in people without symptoms too. Your practitioner will say if one helps.
How long does a strain take to get better?
It depends on the injury and how much you use it. Your practitioner tells you what to watch for.
