Our physical therapists and athletic trainers provide on- and off-site health care to local student athletes competing in multiple sporting activities. Injuries are a potential risk to any athlete. Athletes are quicker, stronger, and faster than ever before. Resultantly, a sports medicine component is an essential component to any successful sports program to keep athletes competing at a high level. If an injury does occur, proper management is critical for a speedy recovery and return to sport.
Our aim is to provide services at low cost to participating high schools and to keep quality health care costs as low as possible. Proper management and referral to medical professionals help to control expenses for parents and schools. A medical team is important for communication between athletes, coaches, parents, and the athletic trainer assigned to the school.
Our licensed athletic trainers perform initial screenings during the week at practice or athletic events as needed. If additional health care is needed, proper referral is provided for each athlete. Most injuries can be managed with onsite visits, minor treatment, or an acute rehab program with emphasis on safe return to play criteria.
