About

Dr. Tom Walters, DPT • Orthopedic Physical Therapist • Learn How to Alleviate Pain & Move Better Hi everyone! I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) who focuses on teaching people how to use movement and exercise to alleviate pain, recover from injuries and move better. My book (Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal from Injury) is now available and contains rehab exercise programs for the 50 most common injuries and pain issues. The book can be ordered on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. If you live internationally, blackwells.com ships to most other locations.

Video Description

In today’s podcast 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 spent 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. Research article on the management of soft tissue injuries: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/54/2/72 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.
