When can I return to my activity?
This depends on your symptoms, function and response to activity. We help with a gradual plan and follow-up; we do not promise a particular date or result.
What is an overuse injury?
An overuse injury occurs when load exceeds the tissue’s capacity over time, often in muscles and tendons. We review your training and the movements that cause symptoms.
