RETURN TO PLAY/ POST REHAB

Rebuild Strength. Restore Confidence. Return Stronger.

Our Post-Rehab Return to Play Training Program is designed to help athletes safely transition from physical therapy or injury rehabilitation back into full athletic performance.

Returning to sport after an injury requires more than simply being “cleared” to play.

Athletes must rebuild:

• Strength
• Stability
• Mobility
• Power
• Speed
• Confidence
• Resilience

At Fitzmaurice Performance, we bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance by helping athletes progressively return to training and competition through a structured, individualized approach.

For over 25 years, we have worked with athletes recovering from a variety of injuries and surgeries, helping them safely regain confidence and return to sport stronger and more prepared.

Our Return to Play Approach

Every athlete and injury is different.

That’s why our training programs are customized based on:

• Injury history
• Surgical procedures
• Physical therapy recommendations
• Current movement abilities
• Strength deficits and imbalances
• Sport demands and position requirements
• Stage of recovery

We work to gradually rebuild athletic performance while helping reduce the risk of re-injury.

What Our Program Focuses On

Our Post-Rehab Return to Play Training Program may include:

• Movement and mobility restoration
• Strength rebuilding
• Core stability and control
• Balance and coordination
• Landing and deceleration mechanics
• Plyometric progressions
• Linear speed and change of direction
• Conditioning and work capacity
• Sport-specific movement progressions
• Confidence and mental resilience

Training intensity and progression are carefully adjusted based on the athlete’s recovery stage and readiness.

• ACL injuries and reconstruction
• Shoulder injuries and surgeries
• Hip labrum injuries and surgeries

The Fitz Return to Play Process

Step 1 — Initial Consultation & Assessment

We begin by learning about the athlete’s injury history, rehabilitation process, goals, and current abilities.

Depending on the athlete, we may evaluate:

• Mobility and movement quality
• Strength and stability
• Balance and coordination
• Power and force production
• Speed and movement mechanics

Step 2 — Progressive Return to Performance Training

Athletes follow a structured progression focused on rebuilding strength, movement quality, athleticism, and confidence. Programs are individualized based on the athlete’s sport, position, and stage of recovery.

Step 3 — Return to Competition

Our goal is to help athletes return to competition feeling:

• Stronger
• More confident
• Better prepared physically and mentally
• More resilient against future injury
