Who this is for

You're in the right place if...

You played through pregnancy and you're ready to get back.

Cleared at 6 weeks but nothing feels right.

You're afraid to push at full effort.

Off the table.
Under the barbell.

The Postpartum Return to Sport Program was created to allow moms to return to a high level of sport and activity. This is done through our 6 week RTS Program lead by our Pelvic Health Physiotherapists.

Athlete training in a gym with ORKA physio-led programming

Activity-Based Model

Your RTS test doesn't care about your table scores.

We test what your sport tests. Function under load, not in isolation.

Lumin Programming

The same platform your strength coach uses.

Your physio is your coach.

Five phases.
One standard.

Most clearances are a calendar check. Ours is a test battery. Every phase has a purpose. Every test has a number it has to hit.

01 Assessment Day 1

02 Foundation Wks 1-2

03 Load Progression Wks 3-4

04 High Performance Progression Wks 5-6

05 Return to Performance Test Day

Not cleared
until you prove it.

01 Hop Test

Limb symmetry measured to the number. Both sides clear, or you're not.

02 Load Tolerance

Sport-weight on the bar. Your physio watches you work, not from a table.

03 Movement Screen

The patterns your position demands. Tested under fatigue, not in isolation.

"You're fine at 6 weeks" isn't a clearance. This is.

Your Practitioners

Both practitioners are athletes. They know the difference between being cleared and being ready — and they don't settle for one when you need the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 6 week Return to Sport Program?

The 6-week Return to Sport program is a structured, physio-led group training program designed to take you from cleared to actually ready. Over 6 weeks you'll complete 12 group training sessions, three physiotherapy assessments, and a final RTS clearance test — all programmed and led by our pelvic health physiotherapists.

How is this different from regular physio sessions?

Regular physio is one-on-one and typically focused on symptom management. This program is gym-based, group-format, and built around performance. Your physio isn't just treating you — they're training you. The entire 6 weeks is designed around getting you back to full effort, not just clearing a checklist.

I was cleared at 6 weeks — is it too late to do this program?

Not at all. The standard 6-week clearance is a starting point, not a finish line. Many athletes in this program were cleared months or even years ago but never felt fully right. If something still doesn't feel like it used to, this program is for you.

Is this covered by insurance?

Yes — physiotherapy benefits through your extended health plan can be applied to this program. Direct billing is not available, so you would pay upfront and submit your receipt for reimbursement. Coverage amounts vary by plan, so we recommend checking your benefits before registering.
