SPORTS REHABILITATION

Sports rehabilitation rebuilds capacity for your sport.

The programme progresses from symptom control to strength, running, speed and sport exposure. Criteria and response to loading guide each step.

SPORT PATHWAY

From injury to the real demands of sport.

Restoring movement alone is not enough. The programme should rebuild the capacity required by training, position and the athlete’s level.

01

Physical capacity

Strength, power, tolerance and neuromuscular control.

02

Return to running

Controlled progression of volume, speed and response.

03

Return to sport

Specific tasks, change of direction and gradual exposure.

04

Risk management

Monitored loading and a maintenance programme to reduce reinjury risk.

PROGRESSION

Five connected phases.

Phases may overlap. Progression follows biological healing, measured capacity and tolerance to loading.

  1. 01

    Injury profile

    Mechanism, irritability, recent load and sport demands establish the baseline.

  2. 02

    Functional base

    Movement, control and basic strength return while general conditioning is maintained.

  3. 03

    Capacity

    Strength, power and tolerance progress towards the athlete’s role.

  4. 04

    Running and agility

    Speed, deceleration, jumping and change of direction are introduced progressively.

  5. 05

    Sport exposure

    Modified training and specific tasks precede full loading.

FUNCTIONAL TESTING

Testing reflects the sport, position and injury.

No single score is sufficient. Physical capacity, movement quality, tolerance and sport exposure are interpreted together.

  • Strength and power
  • Jumping, landing and deceleration
  • Running and change of direction
  • Sport-specific tasks
  • Response during and after loading

Tests are selected for the injury, sport, position and phase; the same battery is not used for every athlete.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before assessment.

General guidance for sports rehabilitation; individual decisions follow examination.

When can running restart?

When symptoms, baseline capacity and response to loading meet phase-specific criteria, not only after a fixed period.

Must the athlete be completely pain-free?

It depends on the injury and phase. Symptoms are interpreted with function, post-load response and risk.

Is field testing included?

When appropriate, clinical testing is complemented by running, jumping, deceleration and sport-specific tasks.

What happens after return to training?

Load continues to be monitored and progressed towards full participation and performance.
