From weekend warriors to professional athletes, the most common question we hear after a client has suffered a sports injury is, “when can I play again?”

Return to play refers to the point in injury recovery when an athlete is able to return to their preferred activity at a pre-injury performance level. Naturally, the severity of the injury, and the fitness level and motivation of the athlete will determine the length of a rehabilitation training program. Additionally, careful consideration must be given to injury prevention. Simply stated returning to sport should be viewed as a recovery and rehabilitation continuum.


Generally, return to play goals include:

  • Achieving a normal range of motion

  • Decreasing acute pain

  • Decreasing swelling

  • Increasing strength of the affected area

  • Improving balance and coordination

  • Assessing the functional requirements of the sport being played and the functional capabilities of the athlete

  • Focusing on sport specific strength, conditioning and skill

  • Mentally preparing

Injuries can be overwhelming, frustrating and downright annoying. However, we are confident our Advanced Physiotherapy team will create a customized rehab plan and program designed to get you back in the game in no time!
