Comprehensive Recovery for Athletes in Evansville, IN
Welcome to Athletic Republic’s “Return to Play Program,” a specialized initiative dedicated to helping athletes like you bridge the gap between post-op surgery, and regaining the functional independence needed to confidently return to sports.
Get Back to Playing Your Sport With Confidence
When an athlete suffers an injury that requires the help of physical therapy or surgery before returning to action, the impact is far-reaching. With most athletes, there is a gap, physically and psychologically, that one must bridge to feel and perform at their highest level in both sports and recreational activities.
The Return To Play Bridge Programs address these challenges and will benefit individuals of all ages and abilities to help them regain functional independence. While this program was originally designed for the ACL athlete, it has since evolved into helping athletes with any significant injury. Each session is personalized to our client’s abilities providing a step-by-step progression with each stage becoming more challenging until the athlete demonstrates proper confidence, strength, and stability to return to their sport.
These programs were developed by a team of exercise physiologists by pairing the latest in injury rehabilitation techniques with Athletic Republic’s state-of-the-art technology and advanced performance training experience and methods. The goal is to provide a consistent, protocol-driven progression with the result being the athlete’s return to full activity. Each session is personalized to the individual’s abilities and consists of the following components: agility & multidirectional movements, forwards & backward running, plyometrics, and strength training.
Agility & Multi-Directional Movements
These drills are designed to improve body awareness, reinforce proper mechanics, and enhance the neuromuscular pathways for sport-specific movements.
Forwards & Backwards Running
Forward/Backward incline runnings helps with body condition, speed, flexibility, motor control and strength while (re)teaching your body proper running mechanics.
Plyometrics
Our progression of plyometric protocols challenges the athlete’s coordination and foot speed while improving neuromuscular efficiency and spatial awareness.
Strength Training
This personalized strength program targets the muscle groups supporting the hip girdle, hamstrings, and abdominals and incorporates our MultiHip and PlyoPress machines
