Marc See, an expert physiotherapist and elite runner in Perth, Western Australia has conducted thousands of clinical gait assessments on runners. Marc encourages injured athletes to find modified training methods that don’t exacerbate their injuries, to ask questions to ensure they understand the nature of their injury, and to assume different helping roles that keep the athlete involved in their sport. He cautions athletes against trying to return to sport too quickly or focusing on the shortest return to sport time frames given by practitioners. Marc distinguishes “readiness to return to training” versus “readiness to return to performance”, suggesting the latter requires additional physical and psychological work, preparation and sport-specific training. Marc discusses the value of simulation training in bridging the gap between return to training and return to performance.  For further assistance dealing with the challenges of injury or for performance enhancement consulting visit: podlogconsulting.com
