Marquette, MI April 9, 2024 – On our latest update from Active Physical Therapy, we heard about the process of making sure someone is in good enough shape to return to athletic competition.

Matt Wheat, Physical Therapist and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist at the Active Physical Therapy Marquette Location, spoke today with Mark & Walt in the Morning about Return to Sport Testing.

Wheat explained that the testing involves doing tests that can be specific to a deficit related to a recent injury that a patient has gone through.

He added that the purpose of return to sport testing is to help determine if an athlete is ready to return to full participation in a sport following an injury or surgery. Testing can indicate if an athlete is at an increased risk of injury.

Wheat shared what kind of tests can be done and gave some examples of the testing and talked about how it can be useful.
