Return-to-sport progression should be guided by the nature of the injury, individual recovery and recommendations from qualified healthcare professionals.
-
A Performance Care assessment may involve reviewing your health and injury history, discussing your goals and evaluating relevant aspects of movement, mobility, stability and strength.
These findings can help identify areas that may benefit from targeted rehabilitation or performance-focused exercise.
Your practitioner can then recommend an individualized approach based on your assessment results and physical goals.

No. Performance Care can be relevant for people of different ages, fitness levels and activity backgrounds.
While competitive athletes may use performance-focused programs to prepare for demanding sports, recreational athletes and active adults may benefit from improved strength, mobility and movement confidence.
The appropriate approach depends on each person's needs, abilities and goals.
-
Performance Care may help identify modifiable factors such as strength deficits, movement limitations and training-load concerns that could contribute to certain injuries.
