Introduction

Sports rehabilitation aims to return an athlete to an optimal level of function safely and efficiently while also trying to reduce the risk of reinjury. Thorough, evidence-based rehabilitation is crucial and should be based on sound clinical reasoning, tissue healing and functional goal-setting. Clinicians face various challenges in athlete rehabilitation, such as adherence and athlete expectations. It is an intricate process where treatment for multiple physical performance characteristics should be balanced and evaluated. At the same time, it is important to understand that athlete behaviour and psychological elements also impact the rehabilitation process. Sports rehabilitation provides an excellent opportunity for clinicians to apply a holistic approach and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team.

Aims
