- Graded return-to-run progression
Common questions
We don’t guess, and we don’t go by the calendar alone. You’re cleared when you pass objective return-to-activity criteria — strength symmetry, hop and agility testing, and sport-specific demands. For runners we add gait analysis and a graded walk-run progression. The goal is to return durable, not just available.
