What is the Professional Athlete Model Return-To-Play?

The Professional Athlete Model of Return To Play can serve as a template for high school sports athletes. The model is built on a team oriented approach between doctor, therapist, RTP specialist, and athlete.This creates an environment that normally decreases RTP time and maximizes the players ability and skill.

Aruka Return to Play is the deliberate process of restoring physical skills post-injury or exhaustive training. Our program initiates after medical clearance and focuses on functional movement. Differentiating from rehabilitation, which prioritizes early repair and restoration under medical guidance, Return to Play shifts attention towards rebuilding skills and bio-motor abilities essential for sports participation. This phase emphasizes movement protocols guided by both RTP specialists and physical therapists post-medical clearance, aiming to re-establish proper function and performance.
