A step-by-step approach for successful return to sport with overuseinjuries ➡️ ⚾

One major problem with overuse injuries, is thatthey tend to occur again repeatedly…

How do we prevent overuse injuries from comingback?

Proper load management after return to sport seemsto be key   This can be done by bridging the gap between physio’s and coaches.

Traditionally, physios have only been involved in:

✔️ Reducing load
✔️ Increasing tissue load tolerance
✔️ Addressing risk factors
✔️ Replicating sport-specific demands with rehab and testing.

These measures are very important, but we shouldcollaborate closer with coaches after the player has returned to sport, inorder to ensure that the risk of injury recurrence is decreased.

Structured, appropriate loading may ensureRTP-success and unstructured or excessive loading will likely not.
