What it is
Sports medicine is the practice of specialized treatment and prevention of injuries/illness resulting from athletic activities. Its focus is on improving the body’s ability to perform, recover from injuries, and prevent future injuries. While professional athletes use sports medicine professionals to help boost their performance or injury healing time, you don’t have to be a professional athlete to seek professional help. Sports medicine professionals can help you achieve personal goals, regain full function after injury, and increase mobility and capabilities for disabilities.
