RTS Protocol

Return to sport,
done right.

The rehab platform that takes an athlete from day-one pain control to the day they're truly ready to compete — and proves every step along the way.

Free for athletes. Built for physical therapists, athletic trainers, and performance coaches.

Why RTS Protocol exists

The tools were never built
for this job.

Home-exercise apps hand out PDFs and hope. Elite team platforms cost a fortune and assume a performance staff. In between sits every PT and athletic trainer bringing an athlete back from injury — juggling paper printouts, spreadsheets, and group texts. RTS Protocol replaces all of it with one system built precisely for return to sport.

📋

Prescribe

Build programs from your own exercise library — sets, reps, tempo, resistance, cues, and demo videos — scheduled to the exact days you choose.

📈

Measure

Every rep an athlete logs rolls into compliance, pain, and readiness trends you can read at a glance — not buried in a filing cabinet.

🏟️

Clear to compete

Six phases, your criteria, your signature. Nobody returns to play because a calendar said so — they return because the data and their provider both agree.

For providers

Your whole caseload,
one glance.

Open the dashboard and know instantly who's trending up, who needs a call, and who's ready for the next phase.

A panel that reads like a vital sign.

Every athlete shows their readiness score, phase, compliance, and workload ratio in a single row. Color means one thing everywhere: green is go, amber is caution, red needs you today.

  • Daily readiness, scored 0–100 from six recovery inputs
  • Compliance percentage from every completed session
  • Automatic flags when readiness drops or workload spikes

Workload science, without the workload.

Log throws, jumps, swings, spikes, or minutes — sport by sport, metric by metric. RTS Protocol computes the acute-to-chronic workload ratio the sports-medicine literature is built on, and warns you before a spike becomes a setback.

  • Ready-made metrics for baseball, golf, figure skating, volleyball, and basketball
  • Add any sport or metric in seconds — nothing is hardcoded
  • 7-day acute vs. 28-day chronic load, computed continuously
The phase engine

The decision that matters most
deserves a paper trail.

Six phases from Pain Control to Return to Competition. You set the unlock criteria. Nothing advances without your signature — and every transition is recorded with the date, the criteria met, and the provider who signed it.

Objective criteria. Human judgment. Both, always.

Automation is great for reminders. It is a terrible way to clear a 17-year-old pitcher for the mound. RTS Protocol gates every phase on the criteria you define — pain thresholds, strength symmetry, hop tests — and then requires a provider's explicit sign-off. If a return-to-play decision is ever questioned, your documentation is already written.

  • Editable 6-phase template per practice
  • Sign-off required on every transition — never fully automatic
  • Complete audit trail: date, criteria met, signing provider
For athletes

Sixty seconds a day.
That's the ask.

Athletes get a daily plan that looks and feels like the best apps on their phone — because if it doesn't, they won't use it, and your data dies. It's free for every athlete, forever.

My Day: the whole plan, zero confusion.

Today's exercises with videos and cues, a one-tap completion flow with pain and difficulty ratings, and a morning check-in that takes less time than brushing teeth. Add it to the home screen and it installs like a native app.

  • Daily checklist with demo videos and provider notes
  • Pain, soreness, fatigue, sleep, stress, confidence — six sliders, one score
  • Readiness rings that make progress feel like progress

Paper programs get lost. Spreadsheets don't call you when readiness tanks. Group texts are not documentation. RTS Protocol is all of it, in one place, beautifully.

Built for practices

Solo today.
Clinic tomorrow.

Every practice on RTS Protocol is fully compartmentalized — your athletes, your programs, your data, visible to your team and no one else. Add providers and athletes in seconds from the admin screen. It scales from a single caseload to a multi-provider clinic without changing a thing.

🔒

Private by design

Role-based accounts for admins, providers, and athletes. Athletes see their plan. Providers see their practice. Nothing bleeds across.

📅

Calendar built in

Appointments, assigned sessions, and check-ins on one month view — the practice's whole rhythm at a glance.

Productive in a minute

No manual, no training day. If you can use the apps that came with your phone, you already know how to use RTS Protocol.

Bring your caseload home.

Sign in, add your first athlete, and prescribe your first program — you'll be done before your next patient walks in.
