Plain-language overview

Support Built Around Real Activity Demands

Sports and movement support considers the activities a person wants to perform, relevant examination findings, and practical goals.

Care should complement—not compete with—appropriate medical, rehabilitation, and coaching guidance. Coordination with other professionals may be appropriate.

    Review possible benefits, limitations, alternatives, expected costs, and referrals when needed.

  4. 04

  • Understand training-related demands
  • Plan gradual activity progression
  • Discuss recovery-support options
