Sports Injury & Rehabilitation in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

No referral is needed to book with us in Cheras. Bring any scan reports or notes from a doctor or surgeon if you have them, because they save time at the assessment.

Around forty five minutes to an hour, most of it assessment. You should leave knowing what we think failed and what the first stage of rehabilitation looks like.

Whichever the assessment points to, and often both. Both disciplines are under one roof here, so you are not routed by who happens to be free.

Once the acute swelling has settled enough to move the area, an assessment is usually more informative. If you cannot put weight through the limb, or there is obvious deformity or severe swelling, go to A&E first rather than booking with us.

That depends on the injury, the sport and how rehabilitation progresses, so we will not give you a date at the first visit. We base the decision on what the area can do under testing rather than on symptoms alone, because returning before the tissue tolerates the load is the most common reason an injury recurs.

It moves through stages rather than all at once. Early on the aim is to protect the injured area and keep it moving without aggravating it. As it settles we rebuild range of movement, then strength, then the speed, control and agility your sport demands. Each stage needs to hold before the next one begins, and how quickly you progress depends on the injury and how you respond rather than on a fixed timetable.

The most common are the ones that come from load rather than contact: runners with knee, shin or achilles complaints, gym injuries around the shoulder and lower back, and ankle sprains that never quite settled after the first one. Racket and court sports bring their own shoulder and elbow problems. A good share of what we see is a recurrence rather than a fresh injury, which usually points at a stage of rehabilitation that was cut short the first time round. We also see plenty of back pain and hip pain that has nothing to do with sport, and the staged approach behind it is the same.

Usually yes, with what you do and how much of it adjusted rather than stopped altogether. Complete rest is rarely the aim, because losing condition creates its own problems and most people do better when something keeps loading the rest of the body. What changes is the movement that provokes the injury, the volume, and sometimes the surface or the tempo. Working out what you can safely keep doing is part of the assessment rather than an afterthought, and where a muscle has stayed guarded we may use dry needling alongside the strength work.

Yes. A tweaked back from lifting, a knee that flares up on a weekend run or an overuse strain from repetitive work are all approached the same way, by assessing what happened and rebuilding the area properly. You do not have to compete at anything to be seen.

Not usually. Most sprains and strains are diagnosed from the assessment itself. If something suggests a more serious injury that needs imaging or a medical opinion, we will tell you and help you arrange it rather than press on regardless.

Often, yes, once your surgeon is happy for rehabilitation to begin and within any restrictions they have set. We work to the protocol for your procedure and progress the loading as the tissue allows. Bring any notes or guidance from your surgical team to the first visit.
