Better for your body and your pennies
The body is pretty good at recovering within a few weeks of minor bumps and twists but a good rule of thumb is if things are still there after 2-3 weeks and especially if they are starting to migrate or worsening then intervention by a specialist physiotherapist is helpful to reduce the length of injury and to prevent compensation which may cause long lasting damage to your health.
With many years of experience within our Abbey View Physiotherapy team we’ve seen longer rehab processes needed for things that may have been settled within a couple of sessions if early intervention had been received. Whiplash for instance can often be settled quickly if managed early but when the more chronic strain has set in this can take many more sessions to recover fully from.
This is also the case after an operation – assisting you early in the recovery stage with pain and inflammation reduction will lead to quicker balanced strength and function return. Pain and swelling inhibits muscles working so delaying this delays good function and can increase compensation risk.

Physiotherapy treatments are often needed as a result of injuries sustained in non-fault accidents like tripping on a broken pavement, slipping on a spillage or an incident hurt at work. Although paying for treatment can seem daunting and costs can put injured people off, delaying treatment can cause much more financial impact on your ability to work and enjoy life in the long run!
Insurance and assistance with claims.
You may also be able to get assistance from Direct2Compensation and their expert specialist personal injury Solicitors that can provide the legal help you need to recover physically without being left out of pocket financially.
