Providing exceptional, industry-leading care for athletes of all levels
The clinical teams at our centers dedicate themselves to ongoing education.
As research in the field of sports medicine brings new insights to treatment, we build on them. You can trust that your therapist knows the newest techniques available for your care.
Your care will begin with a plan created for you, based on your symptoms, conditions and goals. Recommended therapy, exercise and other considerations will come from your plan.
Our focus for you is:
- Prevent injury
- Perform better
- Recover quickly and safely
Specialized areas include:
- ACL Prepare to Play program — Build strength, agility and endurance to prevent strain and tears.

The Select Sports Center of Excellence (COE)
When you need dedicated, sports-specific care, look to our centers of excellence.
Our COE designation conveys the highest quality in sports medicine delivery.
It's an endorsement of a center's expertise in sports as a clinical practice.
Becoming a COE proves a commitment to excellence in four areas:
- Injury prevention — Helping athletes remain healthy, build strength and increase flexibility.
- Rehabilitative treatment — Treating the athlete based on individual injury, goals and training needs.
- Performance enhancement — Improving athletic ability to become better, faster, stronger.
- Sports-specific care — Providing specialty care via a sports physical therapist.
This last bullet is another distinction within our COEs. It's key to have experts who know an athlete’s mindset and the demands of their sport for the best outcomes.
In these centers, you'll work with specially-trained sports medicine physical therapists. Their advanced clinical skills and sports experience can help all levels of athletes
