"In elite sport, rehabilitation already follows a clear interdisciplinary model. First, the physiotherapist is the point of contact providing initial care, diagnosis, pain management, early stage loading and guidance on tissue healing timelines. Following, the strength and conditioning coach then leads the rehabilitation progression, programming, load management, needs analysis, exercise selection, and preparation for return to performance. At various touch points across the rehab process both practitioners work together utilising their expertise to ensure the very best outcome for the individual.

​

This system is adopted by the very best. It is collaborative, specialised, and considered best practice. So we ask, why should this gold standard model be limited to elite athletes? If we are serious about improving patient outcomes, this approach must be accessible and the norm for everyone suffering with an acute injury or managing a chronic issue. Unfortunately, there is a lack of cohesion, practitioners frequently work in isolation, communication is inconsistent, and the rehabilitation process becomes fragmented and poorly explained. This leads to a disjointed rehab process, poor practice and thus subpar outcomes. The rehab to performance pathway was created to deliver what I believe should be consistent across healthcare. The success of this pathway for our clients, where previously they were left frustrated or dejected by the current norm, highlights the absolute necessity of it".
