Return to Play

Return to Play is ideal for patients who have completed physical therapy or post-surgical rehab and need support transitioning back to high-demand movement. To qualify, patients typically:

• Have experienced a musculoskeletal injury or orthopedic surgery
• Have specific active goals that involve sport or specific exercise
• Need testing and training to ensure sport-specific performance readiness
• Want to reduce risk of reinjury with structured progression

Common Injuries Treated in Return to Play

• ACL & MCL Tears: These knee injuries are common in sports that involve cutting, pivoting, and jumping. We guide athletes through progressive strength training, agility drills, and validated testing to ensure safe return to sport after injuries or conditions.
• Concussions: A full recovery from concussion goes beyond rest. Our program includes vestibular therapy, balance work, and a gradual return-to-activity progression, with close monitoring to support cognitive and physical recovery.
• Achilles Injuries: Whether it’s tendinitis or a full rupture, Achilles injuries require focused rehab. We help restore strength, flexibility, and explosive movement to safely return to running, jumping, and change-of-direction tasks.
• Elbow Injuries: Common in sports like baseball, golf, and tennis, elbow injuries need a targeted approach. We focus on arm strength, joint mobility, and sport-specific mechanics to reduce pain and support return to throwing or swinging.
• Shoulder Injuries: Shoulder dislocations, rotator cuff tears, and labral injuries can limit upper body performance. Our rehab focuses on restoring strength, range of motion, and shoulder control for overhead and contact sports.
• Hip Injuries: From sprains and strains to labral tears, hip injuries affect movement and power. We combine mobility work, core stabilization, and functional strength training to help athletes return to high-performance movement.
