Elite Return-to-Sport Protocol: Get Back 100% Stronger

Data-driven testing and sport-specific training that guarantees you’re truly ready to compete—not just cleared to move

Of athletes who return too early get reinjured

Confidence when you pass our clearance testing

Sport-specific movement screening

1

Comprehensive force plate analysis, agility testing, and sport-specific assessments before clearance. We don’t clear you based on a calendar—we clear you based on data.

2

Basketball guards train differently than forwards. Soccer strikers need different prep than defenders. We customize your return protocol to match your exact sport demands.

3

Identify asymmetries and weak points that put you at risk for future injuries. Research shows 26% of non-contact injuries are preventable with proper screening.

4

Don’t just return to baseline—come back faster, stronger, and more explosive. We use force plates to measure your power output and ensure you’re peak-ready.

5

Full hour with DPT/CSCS specialist in private suite. No assistants, no shared time—just personalized attention focused entirely on your comeback.

We bridge the gap between rehab and return-to-sport across all athletic activities. Here are some common injuries we treat:

ACL/MCL tears, ankle sprains, groin strains, preparing for cutting and change of direction

Knee injuries, ankle instability, landing mechanics assessment, preparing for jumping and pivoting

Shoulder injuries, rotator cuff rehab, tennis elbow, preparing for serving and overhead movements

Throwing injuries, UCL rehab, shoulder rehabilitation, preparing for throwing progression

Contact injury recovery, ligament reconstruction rehab, preparing for impact and agility demands

Hamstring strains, stress fractures, running gait analysis, preparing for sprint and jump activities

Watch how we use cutting-edge technology to measure your exact strength, power, and asymmetries—giving you objective proof you’re ready to compete.

“I was cleared by my doctor but still felt hesitant to cut and pivot. The VALD testing showed exactly where I was weak. Three weeks later I was back on the field, more confident than before my injury.”

“The difference between Mana and my previous PT? They didn’t just get me walking again—they got me dunking again. The sport-specific training made all the difference.”

“After my ACL surgery, I was terrified of reinjury. The return-to-play testing gave me concrete proof I was ready. Haven’t had any issues since coming back.”

When you pass our objective testing battery—not just when a calendar says so. Every athlete is different. We use force plate analysis, functional movement screens, and sport-specific tests to determine true readiness.

Absolutely. Medical clearance means healing is complete, but it doesn’t mean you’re performance-ready. We bridge that gap between “cleared” and “confident” through progressive training and objective testing.

Yes! We specialize in athletes of all ages and levels, from youth sports to collegiate competitors. Our protocols are adapted based on age, sport, and competition level.

Our prevention protocols reduce reinjury risk by identifying and correcting the movement patterns that caused the initial injury. We also teach you how to recognize warning signs and when to modify activity.

We accept most major insurance plans. Contact us to verify your specific coverage. We’ll handle all the paperwork to make the process as smooth as possible.

It varies by injury type and individual healing, typically 8-16 weeks. We never rush the process—you return when you’re objectively ready, not when a generic timeline says so.
