Sports Medicine

Many people in today's society choose to participate in athletics. Some are professionals whose physical performance is their livelihood, many are students who pursue sports in conjunction with academics, and still others are avid amateurs who participate in sports for recreation and physical fitness.

The Washington Hospital is striving to be the provider of choice for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of muscle, bone and joint injuries for athletes. The Sports Medicine Program encompasses the entire spectrum of athlete healthcare. Our goal is simple: to help athletes maximize their potential and better understand how to care for their bodies before, during, and after participating in athletics.

Our clinical team of physicians, rehabilitation specialists, and athletic trainers provides a comprehensive, leading edge approach to the prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries.

The clinical team is also actively involved in educating our area's athletes, coaches, and parents about injury prevention and recognition. We believe that educational programming is an integral factor to our success and by providing programs to the community that teach proper strength building, flexibility, conditioning, endurance, and training techniques, we can help to minimize the risk of injury occurrence.
