Traumat Sportive - Fisio Medical Center

Description of Our Service

Returning to sports or the workplace after an injury is a critical phase that requires much more than just the disappearance of pain. Our "Return to Sport and Work" service offers a structured and highly specific approach to prepare you for the high physical demands of your daily life. We build the bridge between basic rehabilitation and your peak performance, ensuring your body is truly ready for any challenge or dynamic load.

Through detailed functional testing and exercises that exactly mimic the movements of your sport or profession, we rebuild the necessary strength, agility, and endurance. Our goal is not just to get you back to where you were before the injury, but to make you stronger, more balanced, and equipped with the right biomechanical tools to prevent recurring injuries in the future.

FAQ

The fear of re-injury or uncertainty about whether you are ready to return to the field or the office is completely natural after a period of rehabilitation. Below, we have addressed the most common questions regarding this specific program.

When am I ready to start the return to sport or work program?

This program begins after you have passed the acute pain phase and regained a good baseline level of mobility and strength through standard physiotherapy. Our therapist will conduct a clinical assessment to determine the exact moment your body is ready for more dynamic and specific loads.

Does this program include weight training or high resistance?

Yes, when necessary. If your sport or profession (e.g., fieldwork, construction, or contact sports) requires heavy lifting or significant exertion, our program will incorporate progressive resistance training to ensure your tissues can safely handle this load.

What is a "Functional Capacity Evaluation"?

It is a series of objective tests and measurements designed to assess your actual ability to perform specific physical tasks. This provides us with precise clinical data on whether you have reached the necessary standard of strength, mobility, and balance to return without putting yourself at risk.

I am not a professional athlete, is this program for me?

Absolutely. Even if you are not a professional athlete, but have a physically demanding job, or simply want to get back to weekend running or tennis pain-free, this program is 100% tailored to your individual needs and the demands of your daily life.

How long does this preparatory process take?

The duration varies greatly depending on the severity of the initial injury, the nature of your profession or sport, and how your body responds to training. It can range from a few weeks to several months for more complex or orthopedic injuries.

Do you provide reports for my employer or coach?

Yes, we work closely with our patients and their professional circle. Upon your request, we can communicate with your sports coach or draft detailed medical reports for your employer, suggesting guidelines for a phased return or modified work duties.
