The overarching goal is to halve the patients' pain, then halve it again and again until it is either gone or they no longer care about it. It is my current diagnostic and treatment approach to the patient's pain.

Pain is a thief. It takes away your friends, your family, your work, your life; it takes away the things you love. Return to play is about taking back what is yours. RTP is our rehab program that applies the approach we use for athletes to people that have suffered long-term pain. It encompasses five key areas: Mindset, Workout, Eat, Recover and Team-mates.

Aging throws at us our most significant challenges – Now is preseason. Preseason is our pain prevention program. It encompasses all the aspects of the RTP program, aiming to make them a way of life. The "game" is then what the patient decides it is. It may be an event; it might be to prevent post-surgical pain from an upcoming procedure or to prevent aging-related pain. It can be anything they want.
