Athlete rehabilitation is a branch of science that includes all treatment methods applied to ensure that injured people reach their pre-injury performance levels as soon as possible. This process requires a treatment that usually takes a long time and requires teamwork. Usually under the leadership of doctors and physiotherapists, the athlete rehabilitation team includes branch specialists, medical technicians, masseurs, coaches and other specialists. It is important to combine sport-specific functional exercises and classically based rehabilitation programmes in athlete rehabilitation.
Treatment protocols should be individualised, taking into account that each injury and each athlete is of different importance. The aim of athlete rehabilitation is to relieve pain, regain muscle strength and endurance, eliminate movement limitations, restore conditioning and sport-specific skills. It is important to implement and develop all of these at appropriate times, at an appropriate pace and with the right programmes. The role of training techniques and equipment should also be considered.
