💪 Did you know that muscle strength can start to decline after just two weeks of inactivity? (Not great news if your holiday exercise routine consisted entirely of couch surfing!) This is why we always recommend getting moving early after an injury.
When muscles aren’t used, protein synthesis slows, fibres shrink, and neural pathways controlling movement get less efficient — all of which can slow your return to full strength.
Don’t let inactivity make recovery harder. Our physiotherapists can assess your injury, design a safe, tailored movement plan, and guide you through exercises that maintain strength, improve circulation, and restore function.
