We all know that exercise (and sports) are a great way to improve cardiovascular health. Plus it boosts mental health, creates friendships, can build leadership skills, and some people thrive being part of a team.
However, sports account for 3.5 MILLION injuries per year! How can you or your athlete prevent being part of this statistic?
At a yearly physical therapy “checkup,” your PT will gather your medical history and observe as you participate in screening tests and other assessments to establish a baseline of your physical abilities, fitness level and personal health. Physical therapists are educated on how your musculoskeletal system functions properly and are trained to identify dysfunctions before they grow into bigger problems.
