SPORTS Medicine Specializing in Return to Sport and Injury Management
Our sport medicine approach is seeded in developing motor control to handle the forces that occur in sport, life, and at work. By seamlessly integrating therapy, research, data, and clinical experience we return athletes to sport while concurrently preventing injuries.
Injuries happen. Managing the full Return to Sport requires sport expertise, clinical sport experience, biomechanical evaluations, technology, the right facility, and a team based approach. While the athlete is rehabbing there are athletic development qualities that can be further developed. For example, a lower body injury is not a contraindication for upper and “core” training. At FITS we always consider injury prevention, identifying the cause of a problem and athletic development.
