1. Acute phase (immediately after injury): In this phase, the goal is to reduce pain and swelling. We use methods such as manual therapy (lymphatic drainage), TECAR therapy, and electrotherapy.
2. Phase of restoring mobility and strength: Once the pain decreases, we focus on improving joint mobility, strengthening weakened muscles, and establishing stability in the affected area. To achieve this, we use therapeutic exercises, stretching, and manual techniques for joint mobilization.
3. Re-functionalization phase: In this phase, progressive rehabilitation is key, which includes specific exercises for returning to daily or sports activities. We focus on stabilization muscles, improving balance and proprioception, and optimizing movement biomechanics.
4. Re-injury prevention phase: Long-term injury prevention requires an individualized exercise program tailored to the patient's activity. It includes specific exercises for muscle strengthening, mobility improvement, stabilization, and functional preparation for return to sport or work.
Proper rehabilitation is not just about repairing damaged tissue, but about optimizing the body's overall functionality, which enables long-term health and prevents recurring issues.
