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.
