- Flexibility
- Balance and coordination
- Movement control
- Exercise tolerance
- Sport-specific demands
- Functional performance
- Return to training and competition
The rehabilitation process varies depending on the type and severity of the injury, previous injuries, current physical abilities, and activity requirements.

Rather than relying only on a fixed number of days or weeks, rehabilitation should be progressed according to appropriate functional milestones.

- Jumping
- Landing
- Cutting

These activities can be progressively introduced according to your injury and rehabilitation stage.
Return to Sport Rehabilitation
Returning to sport should be a progressive process rather than simply waiting until pain disappears.
Your rehabilitation may progress through:
Mobility → Strength → Stability → Functional Movement → Running → Sport-Specific Training → Return to Sport
The appropriate progression depends on the injury, treatment history, physical requirements, and individual goals.
Injury Prevention and Performance

Depending on the athlete and sport, rehabilitation may address:
- Strength deficits
