In this episode of The Decision Room, we break down a real-time decision involving a Division 1 lacrosse player 24 hours after a grade 1 ankle sprain with a game approaching.

We walk through early treatment priorities, swelling management, progression to field exposure, and the key factors that determine whether an athlete is actually ready to return.

This is in-season rehab under pressure, where decisions matter more than timelines.

In Episode 1 of The Decision Room, Dr. Jaime Mor breaks down one of the hardest calls in sports rehab: who actually clears an athlete to return to throwing.

This decision is not based on timelines. It is not based on “they feel good.” And it is not just about pain-free movement.

We unpack why return-to-throw progressions are often rushed, the difference between feeling ready and being prepared, and the hidden risks that lead to setbacks and reinjury.

This episode focuses on the part of rehab most people never see: the decision-making.

Built for clinicians who want stronger clearance standards and athletes who want to understand what truly determines readiness to throw.
