Rehab Frameworks, Templates and Building Better Systems

In this episode, we sit down with Andy, a clinician working across both Physiotherapy and Strength & Conditioning, to unpack how he plans and progresses rehabilitation once the clinical picture is clear.   Andy has over 15 years' experience working within the performance and sports medicine space. His career has spanned teams, individuals, and private-sector clients — ranging from developing youth and collegiate athletes through to Olympic/Paralympic and Professional levels. Andy has a passion for high-performance and sports medicine, with extended interests into leadership, marketing, and wider health and wellness. He thrives working in dynamic, forward-thinking MDT environments and enjoys contributing to the ambitions of athletes and organisations alike.   We chat with Andy about: - How Andy plans out his rehabilitation once he has the required clinical information- What Andy means by "co-actives"- How to determine rehab objectives and the "ladder of loading"- How to avoid getting lost in Excel spreadsheets — collating information into an organised format- How to balance field and gym demands, and whose role that is- Working collaboratively across the medical and performance departments- Understanding pathology, and how to plan and adjust accordingly- Planning while staying flexible based on athlete response- Managing risk in rehabilitation — the return to high-speed or high-force demands- How much information to share with the athlete — thinking not "when" the athlete will be ready, but "how" the athlete will be ready- What Game Plan is, and how it can help clinicians   Do you want to go deeper with your rehabilitation skills?
