Return to Sport Rehabilitation

Returning to sport after injury or surgery requires more than time-based clearance. Safe and confident return to play depends on objective testing, progressive exposure to sport demands, and informed clinical decision-making.

Return-to-sport rehabilitation and testing is provided for athletes seeking clear benchmarks and individualized guidance throughout the recovery process.

Return-to-Sport Testing:

Objective testing is used to establish baselines, guide rehabilitation progression, and assess readiness to return to training or competition.

Testing may include:

• In-line isometric strength testing of key muscle groups

• Limb symmetry and torque/BW assessment

• Vertical and horizontal hop testing

• Motor control and movement quality analysis

• Reactive and cognitive movement assessment

Results are interpreted in the context of sport, position, injury history, and individual goals rather than a single metric.

Rehabilitation & Progression

Rehabilitation emphasizes progressive loading, strength development, plyometrics, and sport-specific movement patterns. Progression is criteria-based, allowing advancement based on demonstrated readiness rather than predetermined timelines.

Who This Is For

• Athletes returning from ACL or other lower-extremity injuries

• Post-operative orthopedic rehabilitation

• Individuals seeking objective return-to-sport guidance

The goal is to return athletes to sport with confidence, resilience, and reduced risk of re-injury.
