Progressive Return-to-Sport Protocol
The Progressive Return-to-Sport Protocol is a structured, step-by-step plan that guides injured athletes safely back to their sport. It involves gradually increasing activity levels, starting with light movements and advancing to full training, only when the athlete is free of symptoms and has regained strength and function. This approach helps prevent re-injury by ensuring the athlete's body adequately adapts to increased demands at each stage before progressing further. The protocol is personalized and monitored closely by healthcare professionals to ensure a safe, effective recovery.
