“Coach Sheldon and the whole team have been excellent. Auto accident left me with whiplash and a wrecked low back. Six months in, I'm back to skiing. Honest, evidence-based, and they listen.”

Athletics · Return-to-sport testing
Know what to work on before returning to sport.
Return-to-sport testing helps you and your care team understand your readiness. We assess strength, balance, jumping, and sport-specific movement alongside symptoms and confidence, then explain what needs more work.
- Measurable criteria shared with your coach and surgeon
- Testing across three sessions
- Results that guide your next phase of training
Understanding your needs
What brings people to ADAPT for return-to-sport testing?
After injury, daily activities may feel comfortable before the demands of sport do. Testing provides a clearer picture of your current strength, control, and performance. We use those findings with your history and medical team's recommendations to plan the next steps.
Common concerns- A.Cleared medically but not confident on the field
- B.A 'good' leg and a 'rebuilt' leg that don't move the same
- C.Hesitation cutting, planting, or decelerating to the affected side
- D.Fear of re-injury that shadows the first hard practice
- E.Coaches asking when you'll really be back

How we work
Our approach to return-to-sport testing.
Across three sessions, we assess leg strength, single-leg hopping, balance, and responses to sport-specific demands. We explain the results and share them with your coach and surgeon as appropriate. Areas needing improvement become the focus of your next training phase.

“I've been attending group fitness classes at ADAPT since 2019 and have experienced each class they offered. Since attending ADAPT, I have experienced less over-use injury and more comfort and confidence while hiking, backpacking and cycling. A big shout out to Carly, Caitlin, Jessica, Eric and Sheldon.”

“I came in after a knee replacement convinced I'd never hike again. Two years later I'm in the mountains every weekend, and back in the gym three mornings a week. ADAPT didn't fix me. They taught me how to keep getting better.”
