If you have a child in sports or you love to stay active by playing a sport, you should be familiar with the likely timelines you face when getting injured.

Learn how different tissues respond to different stimuli to avoid being sidelined for these durations.

Here’s some super helpful info that you’re going to want to save!

TISSUE HEALING⁣
⁣
🤕When an individual sustains an injury, one of the first questions asked is, “How long will it take until I am back to normal?” The difficult part of injuries is that there are certain components of them we are unable to control, such as our age, the type of tissue that was injured, blood supply to a specific tissue, and the extent of damage that was done.⁣
⁣
🙌However, what we can control is enhancing our understanding of tissue healing, and how to optimize healing times by avoiding factors that could slow the normal healing process.⁣
⁣

As our bodies go through the healing process we go through 3 key phases of recovery, here is a quick breakdown: 

1️⃣ Inflammatory Phase (0-7 days): The body’s immediate response to injury: swelling, redness, & sometimes pain.

2️⃣ Proliferative Phase (7-21 days): New tissue begins to form. Movement & direct tissue loading is key during these next two phases. 

3️⃣ Remodeling Phase (3 weeks to 12 months): The new tissue strengthens & matures. Gradual return to full activity is important to prevent re-injury. 🏋️‍♀️

⁣
‼️It’s important to note that different tissues heal at different rates! And more importantly, the severity of the injury also impacts the length of recovery. You’ll notice that the range of healing times is quite large! So please - respect that you may recover faster or slower than your friend with the “same injury”. 

There are so many factors that go into recovery - but a good understand of tissue healing timelines is definitely the place to start for both clinicians & patients.

Btw, I also recommend focusing on sleep, hydration, & nutrition (esp protein and creatine) to help you recover as fast as possible. These seem simple, but they are often overlooked. 
↪️ if you need help with nutrition, check out the from & if you don’t get enough creatine or protein in your diet, it’s a good idea to supplement! Check out for the cleanest supps around & use code “thephysiofix” to save!

Join us for our train and play basketball. This program is for youth who are new to the sport. We will be learning FUNdamentals with a capital FUN. Using games like "Simon Says", "Pac-Man", "Follow-The-Leader", and more, youth will be able to learn the basic FUNdamentals of Basketball: Dribbling, Passing, Shooting and Defense.
There are different days and times for different age groups.
This program is FREE to all Mount Clemens Residents, there is a small fee of $20 for Non-Residents. Click the link here or scan the QR code on the flyer to register! https://mountclemensrecreation.activityreg.com/selectActivity?nLeaguesId=59

If you are Coach or Parent of an athlete who wants to know what is quietly being learned about how to stay off the injured list at the highest levels of sports, in every sport, you want to check this article out.

If you find it interesting, please share this post!

Here’s the part that resonated the most with me:

“The problem is compounded by a common misconception: that testing isometric force is the same as developing it. Measuring force capacity can be informative, but testing alone does not build tolerance, restore durability, or prepare tissues for sustained exposure. In many cases, it simply identifies deficits without providing the environment or programming needed to address them. When assessment is emphasized without a parallel commitment to training, isometric force becomes a data point rather than a developmental priority.
The outcome is predictable. Clubs collect information they are not structurally prepared to act on. Coaches see limitations they lack the tools or systems to resolve. Athletes experience testing as an isolated event rather than part of a coherent process. Over time, confidence erodes. Buy-in declines. Coach morale suffers—not because the concept is flawed, but because the organization was never built to support it.
This is not a motivation problem. It is a systems problem.”

In high-performance sport and rehabilitation, most conversations still begin in familiar territory.

Quick question for parents and hoopers 👀

Did you know your kid’s Achilles tendon could be much older than their actual age?

Not because they’re broken.
Not because they’re weak.
But because of how (and what) they’ve been training consistently.

This came up recently in a conversation about the NBA’s Achilles epidemic, and one line explains the Blindspot perfectly:

“A person can run for miles without their calf getting fatigued…
but they can only do a few slow calf raises.”

That quote came from an Achilles expert in a conversation with Jake Tuura 👇
🔗 https://www.instagram.com/p/DSBovHmDQ4C/?igsh=Yms4OWo1YnZwM2p6

Basketball loads the Achilles constantly.
But it doesn’t load it completely.

Lots of sprinting.
Lots of jumping.
Very little slow, high-tension work that connective tissue actually needs to adapt instead of just survive.

Now zoom out.

Dr. Michael Chivers breaks this down in a different sport — baseball — but the lesson applies directly to basketball 👇
🔗 https://open.substack.com/pub/drmichaelchivers/p/baseballs-ucl-problem?r=4ct26p&utm_medium=ios

Early success → early specialization.
More games → more repetition.
Same tissues → same loads → year-round.

The result?

🧠 Tissue senescence — tissues aging faster than the athlete.

Not because kids are doing “too much”…
…but because they’re doing too much of the same thing, and not consistently training the tissues ecologically.

That’s why tomorrow’s session isn’t about:
❌ more drills
❌ harder workouts
❌ another ACL exercise list

It’s about habits and consistency.
