Recovery isn’t linear, and not knowing what to expect can make it even harder. At TSquared Physio, we guide you through four essential stages of healing, rebuilding not just your body, but your confidence.



Stage 1: Protection & Inflammation (Days 1-7)

Your body kicks off healing with inflammation. We help reduce excessive swelling, protect the area, and gently maintain range of motion; movement (not just rest) is key.


Stage 2: Repair & Early Activation (Days 5-21)

Pain reduces, but stiffness and weakness remain. We restore basic mobility, reactivate muscles, and correct compensations, while laying the foundation for long-term recovery.


Stage 3: Strengthening & Motor Control (Week 3-8)

The hard work begins. Through progressive loading and neuromuscular training, we build strength, endurance, and control, preventing re-injury before you feel ready.


Stage 4: Functional Integration & Return to Performance (Week 6-12+)

Whether it’s sport, parenting, or daily tasks, we ensure strength meets real-world function. Think power, agility, postural endurance, and confidence in your body again.


Rehabilitation is not just about healing an injury; it’s about coming back stronger, smarter, and more self-aware. When done right, physiotherapy doesn’t just fix problems. It upgrades the way you move through life.
