Returning to sport after injury or surgery is not simply a matter of time — it is a matter of readiness. Premature return is one of the leading causes of re-injury, and re-injury rates remain unacceptably high when return-to-sport decisions are based on time elapsed rather than objective functional capacity. At Fultz Physical Therapy & Joint Rehab, Return-to- Sport Testing is a comprehensive, data-driven assessment that objectively measures whether an athlete’s body is truly prepared to handle the demands of their sport — available at our South Shreveport, North Shreveport, and South Bossier clinics.
Using a battery of functional performance tests — including strength symmetry assessments, hop testing, agility and power measures, and sport-specific movement screening — our physical therapists establish clear, evidence-based benchmarks and evaluate the athlete against those standards before clearance is recommended. Returnto- Sport Testing is appropriate for athletes recovering from ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, ankle instability, muscle strains, stress fractures, and any other injury requiring a structured, verified return to competitive activity.
We work collaboratively with coaches, athletic trainers, and physicians to ensure the return-to-sport decision is supported by objective data — protecting the athlete, the team, and the long-term health of everyone involved.
Your sport will be there when you’re truly ready. We make sure you get there safely.
