Return to Play
Return to Play (RTP) refers to a structured process that athletes follow to safely resume their sports activities after an injury. It involves a series of assessments and rehabilitation stages, ensuring the individual is physically and mentally ready to compete again. The process typically includes medical evaluation, physical therapy, and gradual reintegration into training and games. The goal is to minimize the risk of re-injury and ensure optimal performance while prioritizing the athlete's health and well-being. RTP is crucial in sports to support athletes in their recovery and to promote long-term athletic longevity.
