Sports Rehab Services at UH Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute

Multidisciplinary Teams Provide Customized Care & Programs

At UH Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute, a multidisciplinary team evaluates each patient to develop a personalized plan of care. Teams include primary care physicians, orthopedic surgeons, pain management experts, athletic trainers and highly specialized sports physical therapists who work together to determine how a specific condition or injury is affecting other musculoskeletal structures and the athlete’s ability to participate in their specific sport(s).

Base on this initial evaluation, the team will develop a customized therapy plan to resolve the injury or condition through a combination of pain management, physical therapy and, in some cases, surgery. The ultimate goal is always to decrease pain, speed recovery and help patients return to their previous level of functioning.

In addition to injury rehabilitation, your personalized care plan may include injury prevention strategies, nutrition counseling, and sports performance techniques.
