FAQ

When can I return to sport?
When your clinician clears you and you meet strength, pain and control markers — not only when pain drops at rest.
Can I keep training other areas?
Often yes, with modifications. Protect the injured tissue while maintaining overall fitness.

Recover with intent, then return to sport

Use home sessions to keep progress between gym and pitch work.
