What are
Return to Play Protocols?

Return to Play (RTP) protocols are a set of guidelines that determine when an injured athlete is ready to return to their sport. These protocols take into account various factors such as the type and severity of the injury, individual progress, and specific sports requirements. They are designed to ensure that athletes are fully recovered and able to safely resume their athletic activities without risk of re-injury.

Step 1: Initial Assessment

Conduct a thorough evaluation of the athlete's injury and health, considering medical history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests.

Step 2: Treatment Plan

Utilize the assessment data to create a personalized treatment plan, which may include physical therapy, medication, or other suitable treatments.

Step 3: Progress Monitoring

Regularly monitor the athlete's progress through our platform, allowing easy tracking of symptoms and adjustment of the treatment plan.

Step 4: Return to Support Decision
