In today's episode, I discuss the three phases of tissue healing. Understanding the phases of healing can help you better understand how long an injury will take to heal and what you should focus on during each phase of healing.
The phases of healing covered in this episode include:
Phase 1 - Inflammatory Phase (2-3 days)
Phase 2 - Fibroblastic Phase (3 weeks)
Phase 3 - Remodeling Phase (4 weeks to 12 months)
The length of time spend in each phase will depend on the type of tissue that was injured (muscle, tendon, ligament, etc) and the grade of injury that was sustained.

I cover these phases in much more detail in chapter 8 of my book. My book also includes comprehensive rehabilitation programs for the most common orthopedic injuries and pain issues. Click the following Amazon link to learn more about my book.
