How the Injury Return-to-Play Timeline works
- Enter the injury type and date, and the sport being returned to.
- Read each stage's progression criteria — these are conditions to satisfy, not days to wait.
- Progress only when the criteria are met, and drop back a stage if symptoms return. Any real return is supervised by a clinician.
FAQ
Why criteria rather than dates?
Because healing rates vary between people and injuries. A date-based plan returns someone too early or holds them back too long. Published frameworks use criteria at each stage for exactly this reason.
What happens if symptoms return?
Drop back to the previous stage and progress again once it is tolerated. Pushing through returning symptoms is how a manageable injury becomes a long-term one.
Is this medical advice?
No. It is a structure based on published graduated frameworks. Any actual return to play should be supervised by a clinician or physiotherapist who has assessed the injury — concussion especially, where protocols are strict and jurisdiction-specific.
