Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a stress fracture?

A stress fracture causes a deep, aching foot pain that worsens progressively with activity and improves with rest. It's common in runners and athletes who suddenly increase training load. A physio assessment and imaging (MRI or bone scan) can confirm the diagnosis.

How long does a Foot stress fracture take to heal?

Most stress fractures heal within 6–12 weeks with proper rest and load management. Physiotherapy guides a graded return to activity once the bone has healed, and addresses contributing factors such as training errors, footwear, or muscle imbalances.

Can I continue training with a stress fracture?

High-impact activities like running must be stopped to allow healing. However, your physiotherapist can prescribe low-impact cross-training options to maintain fitness while the bone recovers. A structured return-to-running plan follows once you're cleared.
