Return-to-sport posture notes for physiotherapists working with athletes
Posture is context-dependent in athletes; time-of-day and training load matter as much as software features.
At a glance
- Schedule captures at similar training load windows when comparing.
- Log yesterday’s training explicitly beside the analysis.
- Never imply RTP clearance from a photo alone.
Context variables that dominate athletic posture
Fatigue, dominant sport side, footwear class, and bracing alter metrics. Your notes should read like a lab methods section, not a headline.
Bilateral sports vs unilateral demands
Tennis and throwing athletes naturally show asymmetry that may be adaptive. Interpret against sport-specific baselines when possible.
How many credits does each analysis type use?
Fast, Standard, Advanced, and Dynamic analyses use different credit amounts—there’s a dedicated guide in this hub; Pricing also has plans and FAQs on monthly renewal.

Combine strength tests, hop tests, pain scores, and training progression. Photos supplement, they do not replace criteria-based protocols.
PosturalCheck in RTP packages for teams
Organisation templates can include standard training load fields next to exported graphics. Ensure athletes understand images are educational, not sole clearance gates.
