Pre season Injury Prevention

Service Description

If you are a coach, parent, or athlete and looking to decrease the risk of injury and/or improve performance for a group, let me help! Over the past 18 years, I have worked with everything from professional athletes to grade school kids as a Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapist. I assisted with physicals during spring training MLB in Arizona, worked with many different local high school and junior high teams in Alaska developing pre-season warm ups, was on the medical team for the local Roller Derby, recently was certified as an Emergency Medical Responder with a focus on sideline assistance, and was the Secretary and a member of the Alaska chapter of the American College of Sports Medicine where I worked with many leaders in the Sports Medicine world. I love this work! This package can be customized to whatever is needed, but a few options include: -Pre-season Injury screens: Anywhere 6-12 weeks prior to a season starting, I have specific tests that can see if an athlete is pre-disposed to an injury such as an ACL tear, and then give specific recommendations on mechanics and exercises to focus on to prevent this. Usually this entails meeting the team, or an individual, running through the tests, then meeting again to review results. I will give recommendations at that time, and if there are athletes that need more guidance, I can offer this as well. I often lump this together with sport-specific training after, but does not need to include this: -Sport-specific strengthening and warm-ups: I recommend incorporating the injury screen above, so this can be more specific to the athletes that are participating. But I can develop sport-specific trainings as well with less focus on individuals, and more on what is needed for the specific sport. This could look like 1-2 meetings to go through it with athletes and coach and then have the coach take over, or offer more consistent trainings on a regular basis. Whatever is needed. -Have an idea? I'm happy to customize whatever is needed to fit your team or athletes! Price TBD depending on involvement.
