In our outpatient clinic, I see a variety of patients and clients: from pediatric orthopedic cases to geriatric rehabilitation, as well as post-surgical, return to sport, and even vestibular cases. Patient education is a major focus at Sports PT, as we strive to heal the patient as well as empower them to understand their bodies to prevent re-injury.
