Sport and rehabilitation
Back to movement, then back to performance.
For recreational and competitive athletes, and anyone with an active life: a pathway combining spine care, rehabilitation and confidence, with or without surgery.
Private visits and care pathways, not covered by the Italian National Health Service (SSN/ASL). A consultation involves no commitment to surgery.
What it includes
Prehab
Preparing your body before possible surgery: strength, mobility and control.
Pain management
Targeted treatment and, when indicated, guided injections by the pain specialist.
Rehabilitation and progression
Strength, mobility and sport-specific movement, with progressive loading guided by the physiotherapist.
Confidence and return to performance
With the psychologist, when helpful: fear of movement, motivation and return to competition.
Return-to-sport timelines are individual and depend on the condition, treatment and sport. We do not give guaranteed deadlines.
Our philosophy
A clear, protected, accompanied pathway.
Your doctor, physiotherapist and other team members build a pathway with you around your needs. Goals and milestones are agreed together, at your own pace.
Prepare
Understand your symptoms, discuss your goals and prepare your body for the care pathway.
Personalise your care
Physiotherapy, pain management or targeted surgery when indicated: the choice follows the assessment.
Move with support
Exercises and rehabilitation guided by your physiotherapist, with or without surgery.
Return to an active life
Gradually resume everyday activities, work or sport, with individual goals.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep training?
Often yes, with adjustments to loading and movements. Specific guidance follows the assessment.
Will I be able to return to my sport after surgery?
That is the aim of the pathway, with individual progressions. The team will discuss realistic timelines and milestones with you.
