Return-to-Sport Process
Back to sport on real data
Most practices clear athletes at 6 months post-op. Dr. Ken clears athletes when they pass objective tests — not when the calendar says so.
Biomechanical assessment, strength testing, movement screen, and goal mapping on day one.
Progressive loading built around your surgery timeline, sport demands, and tissue healing — not a generic protocol.
Limb symmetry index, single-leg hop tests, strength ratios, and sport-specific movement screening before clearance.
Conditioning, speed work, and sport-specific drills between clearance and full competitive return.

FAQ
Common questions before booking
Do I need a referral?
No. Texas allows direct access to physical therapy. You can book with Dr. Ken today without a physician referral.
How is this different from generic PT?
Every session is one-on-one with Dr. Kenneth Nwosu, DPT — no tech handoffs, no aide rotation. He builds a root-cause plan around your biomechanics, strength deficits, and movement patterns. Fewer, longer sessions that fix what broke rather than managing symptoms.
Do you treat youth athletes?
Yes. Elev8 works with athletes as young as 8 years old. Dr. Ken has experience with youth sports injuries, growth-plate considerations, and age-appropriate return-to-sport progressions.
Is sports rehab covered by insurance?
Elev8 is a cash-pay practice — Cash, Credit, FSA, and HSA accepted. Many patients find fewer focused sessions cost less in total than a long insurance-constrained plan with copays.
How long until I return to sport?
Timeline depends on your injury, surgery protocol, and baseline fitness. Dr. Ken uses objective return-to-sport testing — strength ratios, hop tests, movement screens — not a fixed calendar. You return when the data says you're ready.
