Attention coaches: We are happy to volunteer time for an injury prevention or sports performance clinic for your team. Just give us a call at (330)723-2225.
Our sports clinics and seminars focus on Athletic improvement as well as injury prevention; you can not separate one from the other.

Although they certainly are not experts in every sport, they do understand that all good players have a level of athleticism that will allow them to excel at what ever sport they choose.
