Top tips to beat injuries for good
BeachLife Physiotherapy • 22 September 2025
We see it all the time - people push through a small injury, only for it to return months or years later.
Here's how to heal the right way so your niggle doesn't become a lifelong setback.
Tip 1: See a professional early
Don't sit at home guessing the problem. Early diagnosis is crucial to a smooth recovery.
Tip 2: Do your homework from the physio
Physio's may only see you for 30 mins - 1 hour a week. True recovery happens outside of this time with your rehabilitation program.
So make sure you do it!
Tip 3: Finish your treatment plan
Treatment doesn't stop when pain is gone. The next phase is the most important to prevent ongoing pain/weakness and unfortunately is when most people stop treatment.

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
