My daughter wants to play sports, but she is so prone to her joints popping out of place. We’ve spent months in physical therapy only to have her shoulder etc. pop out again by the tiniest injury. She is double jointed to say the least. Her skin is not stretchy though. Her doctor doesn’t have an answer. I don’t like her taking Advil each and every day for all the pain she is in.

Sports Medicine Complex?
Feb 17
I am about to graduate with a doctorate in physical therapy. I am considering getting together with other talented surgeons, athletic trainers, and other personel to invest in opening a HUGE sports medicine complex that would contain a physical therapy and rehab center, a recreation center and public gym, and an orthopedic practice and surgical center. This would be an all inclusive sports medicine facility, where athletes as well as regular individuals can be physically active as well as cared for, instead of having to travel all around the state to get various sports-related treatment.
What are your thoughts on this idea?
Do you think it would be well received?
Any ideas as to how I can make this work, or work better?
Thanks!
I’m interested in physical therapy but I want to get involved with sports as well. Help me out
I’ve been looking at colleges in my area and I see that there are places that have degrees just for physical therapy but there are also schools that have sports medicine degrees and the cost is cheaper so are they the same type of degrees like if i was to have a degree in sports medicine would i beable to go into physical therapy?
I’ve searched many sites and they all say that to get into Sports Medicine I have to go into either Internal Medicine or Family Medicine first. I was hoping Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation would be a better way of getting into that specialty but I don’t know if I can if I take Rehab.
what is the main difference between a sports therapist and a physical therapist??
i thought i wanted to be a physical therapist but now i am starting to wonder if sports therapy is the better way to go.
I want to become an Athletic Trainer or a physical therapist. Can i do so from The University of Oklahoma? If not where can i go in Oklahoma or Texas?
I am wondering if I can go to college for a sports medicine degree and use it to become a physical therapist. ik that there is a physical therapy degree but no 4 yr colleges offer it or if they did its very expensive so i was wondering if sports medicine degree could still get me where i want to go and i can save money and not go to far from home.
I would like to know if anyone has any good websites or information for me. My paper is on Physical therapy and Sports Rehab in general. I am with 4 other people on this paper, but they are doing it on injuries in sports. I thought I would do mine on this topic. So if anyone can tell me any good information on PT and Sports Rehab that would be great.
