Sports Related Injuries

Many sports injuries are from a result of either too much mobility, too little mobility, or more often a little of both. The key to proper treatment is using the proper screening tools to find out where the problem lies.

Dr. Galbraith and Dr. Schwieterman have extensive training in functional biomechanics. This allows them to assess the athlete and determine what the root cause of the injury was. Usually the injured area is not where the true problem is.

The ability to look past the primary injury and find the biomechanical fault is key to returning an athlete to play.
