Healing of Soft Tissue Injuries: A Comprehensive Guide by Physio360.

INTRODUCTION;

Soft tissue injuries are common in both everyday life and sports activities. Whether it's a muscle strain, ligament sprain, or tendon injury, understanding the stages of healing and how physiotherapy plays a crucial role can significantly speed up recovery. At Physio360, our expert physiotherapists offer specialized care to ensure fast and effective healing for soft tissue injuries in Chennai.

Understanding Soft Tissue Injuries.

Soft tissues include muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Injuries such as sprains, strains, and contusions can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility. These injuries can lead to chronic issues and hinder your daily activities or sports performance if not treated properly.

The Stages of Soft Tissue Healing.

Healing occurs in three primary stages:

1. Inflammatory Phase (0-72 hours)

   • This is the body's immediate response to injury, characterized by swelling, redness, and pain. During this phase, it's crucial to follow the R.I.C.E Protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to control inflammation and promote healing.

     
     

2. Proliferative Phase (3-21 days)

   • The body starts repairing the damaged tissue by producing collagen fibres. Physiotherapy exercises such as gentle stretching, mobility drills, and range-of-motion exercises are crucial during this stage.

     
     

3. Remodeling Phase (3 weeks - 6 months)

   • The repaired tissues strengthen and regain their functional properties. Progressive strengthening exercises and functional training are key components at this stage to ensure full recovery.
