Return to play refers to the point in recovery from an injury when a person is able to go back to playing sports or participate in an activity at a preinjury level.
No one likes to be sidelined with an injury. One of the goals of sport physical therapy is to try to get an athlete back into action as soon as possible. Returning too soon, before adequate healing or recovery has taken place, can put you at risk for reinjury and possibly an even longer down time.
