Services We Provide

Sports Medicine - Rory

Injury Evaluation and Treatment

Our ATCs are skilled in assessing and treating a variety of sports injuries, from minor sprains and strains to more serious conditions.

Preventative Care

Our ATCs, in conjunction with Sports Performance, educate athletes on injury prevention strategies, such as proper warm-up and cool-down techniques, strength and conditioning, and the importance of hydration and nutrition.

Rehabilitation and Corrective Exercise

We develop personalized rehabilitation plans to help athletes recover from injuries and return to their sport as quickly and safely as possible. Corrective exercise programs are designed to address underlying imbalances and prevent future injuries.

Concussion Management

To ensure the best possible care for our athletes, we utilize advanced technology like Sway, a concussion management software. This tool allows us to establish baseline cognitive function tests for each athlete and conduct sideline evaluations at the time of injury to assess for potential concussions.
