Sports Medicine
Sports participation can lead to a myriad of different injuries and working with a professional trained to use up-to-date medical and scientific knowledge to prevent, recognize, manage, and rehabilitate injuries is crucial for recovery and return to sport. PT360 clinicians use their sport-specific knowledge to create tailored treatments to meet the individual needs of athletes from everywhere across the continuum of recreational to elite, from school age to those well into their 80s!
