What happens after an athlete is medically cleared but still isn’t truly ready to perform?
On this episode of Performance Talk, Dr. Ewell Gordon sits down with Dr. Alicia Ponce to unpack one of the most overlooked parts of athletic recovery: the transition from physical therapy to performance.
They discuss the gap between rehabilitation and return-to-play, why being “cleared” doesn’t always mean being ready, and how physical therapists, performance coaches, strength coaches, athletic trainers, and sport coaches can work together to better prepare athletes for the real demands of competition.
From cutting and changing direction to acceleration, deceleration, conditioning, and sport-specific demands, this conversation emphasizes one key principle: the athlete should be at the center of the team.
🎙️ Tune in for an insightful conversation about collaboration, communication, and helping athletes make a stronger, safer transition from rehab back to performance.
