When it comes to ankle injuries, a medial sprain can sometimes take a little longer to recover than a lateral sprain — and for George, this proved to be the case. 💪🏉

Unfortunately, his rehabilitation journey had to be extended by an additional 2 weeks to ensure he returned safely and confidently.

The good news? All the hard work paid off! George has successfully returned to the field and is back doing what he loves without limitations.

Congratulations, George — you pushed through and came out stronger! 👏

Congratulations to Wian on his successful and speedy rehabilitation following an AC joint injury to the shoulder! 💪🏉

Wian described the process as “excellent,” especially being able to spend only one week off the field before making his return to rugby this past weekend.

A great result made possible through commitment, consistency, and trusting the process.

Well done, Wian — lekker, bul! 👏

A massive congratulations to Tilton on successfully completing his rehabilitation! 💪🏉

After injuring his knee in 2025, Tilton had been struggling with ongoing challenges ever since. Over the past 4 weeks, we worked hard to address the issue — and we’re proud to say he’s back doing what he loves.

In Tilton’s own words:
“I didn’t know rehab could be tough but enjoyable at the same time. After the whole process, I’m thankful that I could play the last two rugby games without any problems.”

Your hard work and commitment paid off, Tilton — now go enjoy your rugby! 👏

The brother from the previous post 👆🏻💪

Rencken is a great example of how every injury is unique and why rehabilitation should be individualised — not time-based, but criteria-based. Recovery looks different for everyone, and progress happens at its own pace.

After sustaining a medial ankle sprain, Rencken began what he described as a “challenging but highly rewarding process” — also known as rehab.

Rencken, it’s incredible to see how you embraced the challenge and still experienced the journey as rewarding. Your determination and attitude have been inspiring to watch! 👏

Keep up the great work, bul! 💪

A post of a different kind 🤩

This one is a special shoutout to Shané! While many have seen the results of rehabilitation journeys, Shané has been quietly working behind the scenes, shadowing in biokinetics and learning more about the profession.

Firstly, we want to say a huge thank you for all the extra effort and support you’ve given at the practice — you’ve truly been a rockstar! 🌟

But the real reason for this post… a massive congratulations on being selected as the new Head Girl of HTS John Vorster for 2026–2027! 🎉

Divan, you handled the disappointment like a true champion. 💪🏉

After fracturing his wrist at the end of February, Divan faced a challenging recovery journey filled with ongoing appointments and follow-ups with medical specialists.

Despite being away from rugby for two and a half months, he remained positive, committed to the process, and came back even stronger.

Your resilience and attitude throughout the journey have been incredible to watch. You deserve every bit of success that comes your way, Divan! 👏

Congratulations to Michello on successfully completing his ankle rehabilitation! 💪🏉

Michello sustained a rare injury — a talus bone contusion — which required careful rehabilitation and monitoring throughout the recovery process.

Thankfully, there were no major complications, and the focus was on restoring full range of motion and returning to activity without any limitations.

It’s great to see you back and ready to enjoy your rugby again, Michello! 👏

Congratulations to JP on successfully completing his shoulder rehabilitation! 💪🏉

The past 4 weeks have been challenging after JP sustained an AC joint injury during a rugby game. Through consistency, determination, and commitment to the rehabilitation process, he worked his way back stronger.

In JP’s own words:
“ I learnt that trusting the process is crucial, especially after the first 2 weeks. Thankfully I stuck to the process and pushed through.”

Well done, JP — now go enjoy your rugby, champ! 👏
