Generally, it is best to wait up to 3-5 days to allow swelling to subside. If symptoms or pain are unbearable than the faster you see a physiotherapist, the faster you will get answers (diagnosis) and pain relief!

Don’t forget that many injuries you cannot ‘wait out’ and may require professional intervention. A typical scenario would be spasmodic back pain where people will feel improvement over a 2 week period and then experience another spasm rendering them unable to move again.

Seeing your physiotherapist is crucial in stopping perpetual pain, identifying any underlying causes or risks and most importantly mapping out a clear treatment plan to prevent the injury from ever happening again!

Physiotherapists will diagnose and create clear treatment plans that will improve / solve your concerns for the long term. Sometimes, physiotherapists will use massage and other hands on techniques to provide immediate pain relief.

Massage therapists specialise in hands on techniques and are fantastic for relieving feelings of tightness, stiffness, discomfort and low levels of pain.

If you have pain that is ongoing for more than 2 weeks that is not improving, a physiotherapist would be your first contact to ensure nothing sinister is underlying your pain!

If you are searching for pain or stress relief or comfort, massage is superior to physiotherapy.

Massage therapists at Champion Health are also specialised in lymphatic drainage and pregnancy massage alongside provided remedial (relaxation) and sports services.
