A clear starting point.
Sports injuries can affect muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. Assessment helps identify the injury and guide a staged recovery plan. Returning to sport should be based on recovery and function, rather than a fixed promise of time.
What you can discuss
- Acute and recurring sports injuries
- Knee, shoulder and ligament concerns
- Guidance on rehabilitation and return to sport
Make your consultation useful
Bring the story of your injury.
- Note how the injury happened and which sport or activity was involved.
- Share your training routine and any previous injuries to the same area.
- Ask about assessment, rehabilitation and how return to activity will be reviewed.
Your consultation in Adyar

Can I discuss when to return to sport?
Yes. Tell the doctor about the demands of your sport and the level you want to return to. The plan depends on your injury, recovery and function rather than a guaranteed date.
