Then open the Marketplace in the app, search for Return to Training After Injury, and click Install. It goes into your own files, and works offline from then on.

Before you start: this plan is general information, not medical advice. Check with a doctor before starting a new training programme, especially if you have a health condition, are pregnant or are coming back from an injury, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness or chest discomfort.

Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Injury notes written while they are fresh

Within a week of an injury most athletes can no longer say exactly how it happened, what they felt or how quickly it swelled, and those details are what a physio or doctor uses to narrow down the diagnosis. Writing one page now, before the first appointment, saves time in the clinic and gives you a reference point to measure every later week against.

First tasks

  • Write down the session, the movement and the exact moment it happened
  • List every symptom you noticed in the first two days
  • Photograph any swelling or bruising and date the photos
  • Note what you could not do afterwards, such as stairs or gripping

Assessment by a sports physio or doctor

Guessing at an injury from internet searches is how a minor strain becomes a twelve-week problem, and how a fracture gets walked on for a month. A proper assessment from a physiotherapist or sports medicine doctor gives you a working diagnosis, a severity grade where one applies and a first set of instructions, which is the starting line for everything else in this area.

First tasks

  • Ask your club or teammates which physios in the area treat your sport
  • Book the earliest assessment you can get
  • Bring your injury notes and the shoes or kit you were wearing
  • Write the diagnosis and instructions in your log the same day @priority(high)

Question list for the first rehab appointment

First appointments are short and most athletes walk out realising they never asked when they can run, lift or play again. Going in with eight or ten written questions, in priority order, means you leave knowing the plan for the next fortnight and the signs that should bring you back sooner.

First tasks

  • Ask the agent to draft rehab questions for your injury and sport, then edit them
  • Order the questions so the three that matter most come first
  • Write the answers down before you leave the car park
  • Move any unanswered questions to the top of the next list

Make it yours.

Install Return to Training After Injury, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
