RTP (Return to Play) Protocol

The Return to Play (RTP) Protocol is a structured process designed to safely reintegrate individuals, especially athletes, back into physical activity after an injury or illness, such as a concussion. It involves a series of gradual steps that increase physical intensity and complexity while monitoring the individual's response to each level. The goal is to ensure their body can handle the stress of sports or exercise without risking re-injury. This protocol emphasizes safety, allowing for adequate recovery while promoting confidence and readiness to return to full participation in sports.
