Return-to-play evaluation

A structured assessment confirming an athlete is physically ready to safely return to their sport after injury.

Who this is for

  • Completed rehabilitation after an injury
  • Preparing to resume competitive sport

What it involves

Functional testing of strength, movement and sport-specific skills to confirm readiness, not just pain-free status.

What to expect

A clear go/no-go assessment, sometimes with specific benchmarks still to hit before full clearance.
