Return-to-Sport Rehabilitation for Bacchus Marsh Athletes
One of the most common causes of re-injury is returning to sport too early or without proper preparation.
Our return-to-sport process typically follows these stages
Step 1 – Pain & Inflammation Control
Settle symptoms without complete rest. Maintain safe movement early.
Step 2 – Restore Strength & Capacity
Targeted loading to rebuild tendon, muscle and joint resilience.
Step 3 – Movement Re-Training
Correct biomechanics and improve control specific to your sport.
Step 4 – Sport-Specific Conditioning
Progress drills, change of direction, jumping, sprinting or contact loads. Gradual return to training intensity
Step 5 – Confident Return to Play
Clear benchmarks for strength, movement and confidence before full return.
We don’t just get you pain-free — we get you prepared.

Sports Physiotherapy FAQs – Bacchus Marsh
How long does a sports injury take to recover?
Recovery depends on severity, tissue involved, and rehabilitation consistency. Minor muscle strains may settle in 2–4 weeks, while ligament injuries or tendon problems can take 8–16 weeks or longer.
Do I need a scan for a sports injury?
Not always. Many sports injuries can be accurately diagnosed through clinical assessment. Scans are recommended only when clinically necessary.
Can I keep training with a sports injury?
Often yes — with modification. Completely stopping activity is rarely ideal. We guide safe load adjustments to maintain fitness.
What makes sports physiotherapy different?
Sports physiotherapy focuses on restoring strength, power, speed and movement control — not just pain reduction.
