Care
Rehab and return to training
Movements to practice, in the clinic and at home, and a plain list of steps back toward your sport after time away from it.
What to expect
What a visit is like
What a visit includes
A talk about what you have stopped doing and what you want to get back to, a movement check, and a short set of exercises your doctor shows you and watches you do. You leave with a written list.
Exercises shown and watched
A written list for home or the gym
Steps in the order your doctor sets
A recheck at each visit
How long and how often
Your doctor sets the steps after the exam and changes them at each recheck. We do not promise a number of visits or a date for your return.
What we do not claim
We do not promise that exercises prevent a new injury or return you to your former level, and results vary. We do not clear anyone to return to a sport after a head injury.
We do not claim to treat any disease
We do not replace your physician or physical therapist
When to see a physician first
See a physician first after a head injury, a suspected broken bone, a joint that gives way, or pain at night that wakes you. Tell us if your physician has set limits, and we keep to them.
A visit is billed to your plan if we work with it, or paid at the visit. The fees page shows how.
Questions about this care
Do I need to bring a coach or trainer?
No, but you can. If a coach or trainer sets your training, tell us, and we can write the steps so they fit it.
What if my physician has told me to rest?
Then rest comes first. Tell us what your physician said, and we plan around it.
How do I know when I am ready to go back?
Your doctor checks how you move at each visit and tells you what they see. The decision about returning to your sport is yours, with your physician where one is involved.
