The ‘Return to Sport’ Program

Returning to sport after an injury is a process that demands not only physical rehabilitation but also a strategic approach to ensure the athlete can perform at their best without the risk of re-injury. At Adaptive Strength, our “Return to Sport” program is designed with these dual objectives in mind.

What is ‘Return to Sport’?

The “Return to Sport” (RTS) program at Adaptive Strength is a comprehensive initiative tailored to help athletes safely and effectively transition from injury recovery back into full athletic activity. Unlike standard rehabilitation programs that often focus solely on recovery, our RTS program emphasizes a full spectrum approach — preparing athletes mentally and physically for the demands of their sport.

Goals of the RTS Program

Our RTS program is structured around several key objectives:

1. Injury Recovery: First and foremost, the program targets complete recovery from injury, employing advanced therapeutic techniques to restore function and alleviate pain.
2. Performance Enhancement: We go beyond recovery, aiming to enhance the athlete’s physical capabilities to achieve superior performance levels compared to pre-injury states.
3. Re-injury Prevention: By integrating injury prevention strategies, our program helps athletes understand their body better, teaching them how to avoid future injuries and maintain optimum health.
4. Psychological Resilience: Recognizing the psychological impact of injuries, our program includes components that boost confidence and mental toughness, preparing athletes to handle the pressures of returning to competitive sports.

Through a personalized approach, each athlete’s program is planned and executed to align with their specific sports requirements and personal recovery goals. This ensures not only a safe return to sport but also an opportunity to excel and redefine their performance boundaries.

Comprehensive Services Offered

At Adaptive Strength, we offer a broad spectrum of services to facilitate a complete and effective return to sport. Our interdisciplinary team collaborates to provide a tailored approach that addresses each athlete’s specific needs, from the initial injury assessment to full performance recovery.

Injury Assessment and Management

The journey begins with a thorough assessment by our Sports Physiotherapists, who evaluate the extent of the injury and its impact on your performance. Utilizing the latest diagnostic tools, they identify not only the injury specifics but also any underlying issues that could contribute to future risks. This initial evaluation is critical in designing an effective, personalized recovery plan.

Customized Rehabilitation Plans

Our Exercise Physiologists and Exercise Scientists work together to create rehabilitation plans that are as unique as the athletes we serve. These plans incorporate advanced rehabilitation techniques, including biomechanical assessments and corrective exercises, to ensure a recovery that is aligned with the athlete’s physical capabilities and sport-specific demands.

Performance Conditioning

Strength & Conditioning Coaches play a crucial role in transitioning athletes from rehabilitation to peak performance. Their expertise allows them to design conditioning programs that not only rebuild strength but also enhance agility, speed, endurance, and other key performance attributes. This stage is vital for athletes looking to not only return to their sport but also to excel beyond their previous capabilities.

Supportive Therapies

Our Remedial Massage Therapists provide essential support throughout the recovery process. They offer treatments that reduce muscle tension, alleviate pain, and improve circulation, which are crucial for effective healing and faster recovery. These therapies also play a significant role in maintaining overall muscle health and preventing future injuries.
