Return to play

Structured clearance pathways after injury so athletes progress safely from rehab back to training and competition.

Athlete return-to-play and rehabilitation pathway

Return-to-play decisions balance healing, strength, confidence, and sport-specific demands. We avoid one-size-fits-all timelines and instead use clinical markers and functional progress.

Your pathway may include shared sessions with physiotherapy and biokinetics, gradual exposure to running or contact, and checkpoints before full competition clearance.

Parents, coaches, and school or club medical officers are welcome in the conversation when that helps keep everyone aligned.
