STUDENT ATHLETES Is Your Student Athlete Prepared for Peak Performance?
Give your Athlete a head start before they return to school sports. Schedule them for Injury Risk Screening/ Return to Sports Testing at Canyon Sports Therapy! Canyon Sports Therapy has adopted the return to Sport Assessment developed by Christopher Powers, PhD, PT, FACSM, FAPTA, associate director of USC’s Division of Biokenesiology. This is a world—renowned evaluation adopted by such organizations as FIFA (International Soccer Federation) and more locally some of our Utah Jazz basketball team members. This program was designed to assess your athlete’s biomechanical readiness for competitive or recreational sport. He/ she will be taken through a series of studies assessing such activities as running, jumping and cutting. Their movement quality, muscle strength and symmetry will also be analyzed. The results are simple and understandable scoring including a discussion addressing specific performance areas the individual needs to address in order to safely begin their training and competition season. Where our athletes have changed their training program to address their screening results we have seen a substantial reduced risk for injury and higher performance. This is the same scoring that is done during our “Return to Sports Test” which is used to establish return to sports timelines with our Athletes rehabilitating from injury.
