Importance of Return to Play Testing after an injury

Return-to-Play testing in physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in ensuring athletes can safely resume their athletic endeavors following an injury. At FLEXITUDE, we understand the importance of this process, which is why we have a comprehensive approach to help athletes bounce back stronger than ever.

Pre-Testing Assessment

Before athletes can return to sport, we guide our athletes to undergo a series of assessments to evaluate their readiness. This includes reviewing their medical history, assessing their range of motion and strength, as well as conducting functional movement screenings and biomechanical analyses.

Collaboration is Key

Collaboration with coaches, trainers, and sports physicians is vital in ensuring a holistic approach to athletes' return to sports. By communicating effectively and understanding the athlete's goals and expectations, the sports medicine team can provide comprehensive support throughout the process.

The Return-to-Play Process

Objective measurements and performance benchmarks are required to determine an athlete's readiness to resume playing.

Our Return to play program involves a structured process aimed at safely reintegrating athletes back into their sport or physical activity following an injury. Here's a general outline of how it's typically done:

RTP Process

Several common tests are used to assess an athlete's readiness to return to play after an injury. These tests evaluate various aspects of physical function, performance, and readiness to resume sport-specific activities. Examples include agility tests, strength and power testing, and sport-specific skill assessments.
