Sports Medicine FAQ

How soon can I start running after an ACL reconstruction?▼

Typically, straight-line running starts around the 3-month mark, provided you have met specific strength and stability milestones. We use objective testing to ensure your knee is ready for the impact.

Do all sports injuries require surgery?▼

No. Many injuries like low-grade sprains, muscle tears, and some meniscus injuries can be managed successfully with high-quality physiotherapy and biological treatments (like PRP). Surgery is reserved for structural instabilities that cannot heal on their own.

What is the goal of a Return to Play protocol?▼

The goal is to ensure you return to your sport with a near-zero risk of re-injury. It's a data-driven approach where you must "pass" specific functional and strength tests before being cleared for competition.
