Clearance to return to sport will be determined by your allied health profession, doctor or surgeon.
Returning to sport early can delay healing and prolong recovery, so your exercise physiologist will consider how you progressed in your rehabilitation and transitioned from physiotherapy into an exercise physiology program.
Sometimes bracing or taping may allow an early return to sport. However, as a rule most soft tissue injuries and bone injuries will take at least six weeks for scar tissue to mature or bone to strengthen. Therefore, caution is required and is best discussed between your exercise physiologist, doctor, and coach.
