An agreement with a club or school comes in three parts. Your athletic trainer or coach stays in charge of the team.
We screen your athletes' movement at your facility or ours. Each athlete gets a plain summary, and your coach or trainer gets it too when the athlete or parent agrees.
A physical therapist at practices or games, by agreement, checks tape, sore spots and how an athlete is moving. For anything urgent, your emergency plan and 911 come first.
The athlete comes to a clinic. We send the plan in writing to the family, and to your trainer with permission. Your physician and your league decide when an athlete plays.
Ask us to cover a meet, a tournament or a camp. A physical therapist is on site to check tape, sore spots and movement, and to tell an athlete when to see a physician. The host arranges emergency medical services.

What families and coaches say
“Our trainer got a short written plan for my son after his ankle, and I knew what to do at home between visits.”
“They came to a Saturday tournament and checked tape and sore shoulders between games. We knew who to call afterward.”
“My therapist asked about my training week before anything else, then built the rehab around it.”

We bill many kinds of plans, including most PPO plans, Medicare, Medicaid, military health coverage, workers' compensation and auto injury coverage. Your plan decides what it pays. We check your benefits and call you before your first visit.
