Keeping Athletes Safe

Are you a middle school, high school or collegiate athlete?  If so you have a lot of pressures throughout the day.  School work, conditioning, practice, games, travel and more.

A big pressure we are hoping to minimize at OSR is injury.  Injuries are inevitable, they are going to happen.  We hope they become less through prevention, recognition and appropriate treatment post injury.

Here is a good clip on Athletic Trainers and their role with sports:

Another great resource to check out is the Youth Sports Safety Alliance:

At OSR we always offer free 15 minute injury consultations with one of our Certified Athletic Trainers in hope to look at your injury before it gets worse.  We will also offer our advice on treatment inside and out of OSR.

To schedule your free 15 minute injury consult contact us today and good luck in your season!
