Return
to Play
The last mile of rehab: speed, change of direction and the tests that say you're ready.
Our approach
Pain-free isn't the same as ready. We take you from the gym back to the field with sprint, agility and sport-specific drills, then clear you with objective tests: force, symmetry, speed and confidence. Your coach gets the report; you get your season back.
Most re-injuries happen in the first month back. That's the month we plan hardest for.
What's included
Back on the field with a plan. On-field sessions at partner grounds, clearance testing in the lab and a graded return to full training.
On-field reconditioning
01
Running, sprinting and cutting progressions at partner ovals, coached by our physios.
Clearance testing
02
Hop, jump and sprint batteries against your pre-injury data or your sport's norms.
Team liaison
03
Reports and calls with your coach, team doctor and S&C staff before every step up.
Re-injury prevention
04
A maintenance plan for the first season back, when the risk is highest.
