How it works
Optimal loading (not complete rest) provides mechanical stimulation for ligament fibroblasts and collagen synthesis. Early movement within pain tolerance prevents excessive scar tissue formation and loss of proprioception.
Protection from further injury is still important in the first 48–72 hours. Optimal loading means loading within pain tolerance — not forced activity. A physiotherapist can guide appropriate loading.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
