Return-to-Play

The Return-to-Play (RTP) Evaluation is for patients recovering from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The evidence-based testing will determine readiness for return to sport.

The RTP Evaluation will utilize objective strength testing, functional performance assessments, movement analysis, and patient-reported outcome measures to support clinical decision-making and improve patient confidence.

If additional Physical Therapy is recommended, we offer:

• Objective & Functional Testing: Measures strength, power, agility, and movement mechanics to identify ongoing deficit risks.
• Return-to-Sport Drills: Re-creates the exact physical demands, speed, and changing directions required by your specific sport.
• Psychological Readiness: Addresses athlete confidence, motivation, and hesitation or fear of re-injury.

Cost & Coverage:

We will first attempt to bill your insurance provider. Most insurance plans cover structured physical therapy if deemed medically necessary. Out of pockets costs: $175 for Return-to-Play evaluation, and $75 for follow-up sessions if needed.
