What are
Return to Play Protocols?
Return to Play (RTP) protocols are a set of guidelines that determine when an injured athlete is ready to return to their sport. These protocols take into account various factors such as the type and severity of the injury, individual progress, and specific sports requirements. They are designed to ensure that athletes are fully recovered and able to safely resume their athletic activities without risk of re-injury.

How ExerciseNow's Return to Play Protocols Work
Easily access ExerciseNow's Return-to-Play (RTP) Protocols via our EMR-integrated platform. These protocols, based on the latest sports medicine research, simplify the process for sports medicine providers:

Step 1: Initial Assessment
Conduct a thorough evaluation of the athlete's injury and health, considering medical history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests.

Step 2: Treatment Plan
Utilize the assessment data to create a personalized treatment plan, which may include physical therapy, medication, or other suitable treatments.

Step 3: Progress Monitoring
Regularly monitor the athlete's progress through our platform, allowing easy tracking of symptoms and adjustment of the treatment plan.

Step 4: Return to Support Decision
Apply our RTP protocols to determine when the athlete, now symptom- free, is ready to return to their sport. This involves functional testing, range of motion assessments, and injury-specific criteria.

Step 5: Gradual Return to Play
Implement a gradual return-to-play plan, modifying training or playing schedules while closely monitoring progress and making adjustments as needed.

Step 6: Gradual Care
Emphasize the importance of ongoing care and follow-up appointments for the athlete's long-term recovery and to prevent potential re-injuries.
