"Return to Play" is a term used by healthcare practitioners to describe the final phase of physical therapy and rehabilitation for injured athletes. Our goal in this phase is to reduce the risk of re-injury and ensure the athlete is ready to perform at a high level.
To determine if an athlete is ready to compete, medical teams use several physical tests and parameters. It is also important to train with high intensity to prepare the body for the demands of the sport. Every sport is different and requires a unique strategy to help athletes reach their goals.
With Caliber PT, you don’t have to choose between sport performance training and rehabilitation – with us, you can get an expert blend of both. Our specialists are highly-trained in exercise science, physical therapy, and strength and conditioning, so you know that we’ve got the knowledge you need for a successful return to play training. At Caliber PTs, you won't have to worry about taking the wrong steps – we'll ensure you're prepared to do what you love better than ever before.
As an injured athlete, you dream of returning to your sport stronger and better than before. Let us help you achieve that goal. Don't settle for anything less than success – let our team be a part of your inspiring comeback story.
Many athletes struggle when they return to their sports due to a variety of reasons. These can include:
Insurance companies may cut people off too soon
A lack of proper "return-to-play tests," exercise programs that don't reach the intensity needed for the desired activity
People may not be aware of the importance of the return-phase
Physical therapists or facilities may not have the resources to properly train clients. This can lead to difficulties reaching your full potential.
For example, a facility may be too small to allow an athlete to run and cut, or the available weights may not be heavy enough.
These challenges can increase your risk of re-injury, making it crucial to have proper support and guidance during your recovery. It's understandable to feel anxious about returning to your sport, and that's why we're here to provide you with the necessary strategies and tools to ensure that you're back to full health and performance.
By monitoring your progress, pain, and other indicators of recovery, we can help you make an informed decision about when to safely return to playing sports or other activities. Don't let setbacks stop you from achieving your goals - let's work together to get you back in the game.
