Sports Therapy

​

Many amateur and professional athletes are sidelined with injuries that could be avoided. Others avoid exercise needlessly because their injury does not respond to ordinary treatment. Still others are playing, but at less than peak efficiency, simply because their structural system is not balance.

 

Progressive coaches, athletes, and doctors are realizing that pain killing drugs are not the answer. They merely cover up the symptoms, deceiving the athlete into actions which could make the injury more serious.

​
