From crutches to chasing footy again — this is what a real return-to-play process looks like.
Rehab isn’t just “rest until it feels better.” A proper return-to-play program includes:�• rebuilding ankle, calf and foot strength�• restoring mobility and stability�• improving balance and single-leg control�• landing and deceleration mechanics�• acceleration, change of direction & repeat sprint efforts�• conditioning for contact, fatigue and unpredictable game situations
Why it matters�Footy places huge demands on the ankles with constant cutting, jumping, tackling and rapid changes of direction. Rehab helps athletes not only recover from injury, but improve movement efficiency, rebuild confidence and reduce the risk of re-injury when returning to competition.
Big credit to for trusting the process and putting in the work behind the scenes
