Elite athletes tend to return to play faster after injury than everyday athletes. Just ask Dr. Kelechi Okoroha, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon who works with professional athletes and knows what factors they have working in their favor. While it may be unrealistic to think that the average athlete can bounce back as quickly, Dr. Okoroha says there are steps anyone can take to aid in their recovery process. And if an athlete is recovering from an injury that required surgery, physical therapy plays a huge role.
