Show Notes

On today’s episode we’re focusing on return to play after various orthopedic injuries: what factors influence the timing of return, what criteria are used to determine clearance and how this all differs between sports. 

We’re joined today by Dr. Robin West, Chairman of Inova Sports Medicine and head team physician for the Washington Nationals. Dr. West also has 18 years of experience in the National Football League, serving as a physician for both the Pittsburgh Steelers followed by the Washington Football Team. So we’re excited to hear her take on this topic of return to play, especially given her experience across a multitude of elite sports.
