Simon explains the evolution of rehab approaches and the need for flexibility and creativity in building a framework. Simon emphasises the importance of specificity in different sports and the consideration of injury profiles. We discuss common key performance indicators and criteria in rehab and categorising running drills. Simon also shares insights on structuring rehab phases, progressing intensity, using data in rehab, and determining return to play.
