Not all injuries follow the same healing timeline. Some soft tissue injuries can take longer depending on your age, activity level, and the severity of the injury.
Possible Reasons for Delayed Healing:
- Re-injury due to returning to activity too soon
- Lack of rest or improper rehabilitation
- Poor circulation or nutrition
- Underlying conditions (e.g., diabetes or autoimmune disorders)
What You Can Do:
- Follow your physiotherapist’s treatment plan carefully
- Focus on rest, hydration, and balanced nutrition
- Avoid “pushing through” pain
- Consider a review if pain or swelling persists after 6–8 weeks
Important: Every injury is different—listen to your body and seek professional input.
