Benefits Of Ligament Sprains Treatment
Treatment of ligament sprains ensures faster recovery, reduced pain and improved joint stability. Left untreated, even mild sprains can lead to chronic instability, repeated injury or joint degeneration over time. Our approach focuses on restoring mobility, balance and strength to protect the joint and reduce the risk of recurrence. Clients often return to walking, running, or sport more confidently and with a lower risk of reinjury. At Fit2Function Oxford Circus, we help you recover from sprains fully, with a plan built around your goals, whether that’s getting back to high level sport or simply moving without fear of pain or instability.

Ligament Sprains FAQs
What are the common signs that I’ve sprained a ligament?
You may feel sudden pain, swelling, bruising or instability in the affected joint. Some people may also hear a “pop” at the time of injury.
How long does it usually take for a ligament sprain to heal?
Mild sprains can heal within 1–2 weeks, while moderate to severe sprains may take 4–8 weeks or longer with the correct treatment and rehab. Recovery time depends on the severity and your activity level.
Can ligament sprains heal without professional treatment?
Some mild sprains improve with rest and home care, but without proper rehab, you risk incomplete healing or future injury. Professional treatment ensures full recovery and joint stability.
How do you prevent a ligament sprain from happening again?
Strengthening the surrounding muscles, improving balance and coordination and addressing faulty movement patterns are key to preventing recurrence. Our rehab plans focus heavily on injury prevention.
When should I see a specialist for a ligament sprain?
If you’re unable to bear weight, have severe swelling or bruising, or your joint feels unstable, it’s best to seek professional help. Early treatment improves recovery and reduces complications.
Are there any risks associated with returning to activity too soon after a ligament sprain?
Yes. Returning too early can lead to re-injury, chronic instability or compensatory problems in other joints. We guide your return to sport or activity safely with structured treatment and rehabilitation plans.
