Bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance, this presentation will provide physical therapists with an evidence-informed framework for integrating plyometric and deceleration training into clinical practice. Designed to emphasize practical application, the session will explore strategies for progressing patients safely and effectively from foundational movement to higher-level functional and athletic demands. Participants will gain clinically relevant insights, implementation strategies, and decision-making principles that can be adapted across a wide range of orthopedic and sports medicine populations. Whether treating recreationally active individuals or competitive athletes, attendees will leave with greater confidence in applying progressive loading concepts to enhance movement quality, optimize performance, and support successful return to activity and sport.
