In addition, Sheddon Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic takes a comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal injuries, including ACL injuries, ankle sprains, and fractures. Once an athlete reaches the stage where they are ready to return to sport, the therapists at Sheddon will implement evidence-based return-to-sport testing. These specialized tests are designed to assess an athlete’s readiness and determine if they have met the necessary criteria to safely resume their sport. Our testing protocols consider various factors, including strength, functional movements, and sport-specific skills. By following these evidence-based guidelines, we ensure that athletes have fully recovered and have the required physical capabilities to prevent re-injury and perform at their best.
