Triple F's Sports Medicine
Stay healthy. Stay strong. Stay in the game.
Our sports medicine team specializes in minimizing injuries so your athlete can maximize their time in the game.
Injury Triage / Treatment
All athletes will have access to a assessment and treatment of pain and injury by the Dr. Taylor Comford PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, Cert-CMFA, CSCS, Director of Sports Medicine. If it is determined that the injury requires a full physical therapy plan and/or rehabilitation of injury, Dr. Taylor Comford of Onward Physical Therapy-Knoxville will be available for on-site scheduling at a discounted rate. Taylor and his team of therapists provide your athlete with the most comprehensive care to promote a long and healthy athletic career.
Mobility Interventions
The transition from sitting all day at school directly into after school sports practices can be rough on an athlete’s body. Not only are stiff joints and tight musculature uncomfortable, they put our athletes at greater risk for injury and poor performance. Following an athletic assessment, our team will put together a carefully curated set of both dynamic and static stretches to promote joint and muscular health in your athlete.
Soft-Tissue Mobilization
It is important that our athletes learn and understand how important prioritizing their recovery is for their long term athletic development. In order to limit soreness and fatigue (especially while in season), our athletes will have access to world class soft tissue mobility tools. These aid in the promotion of range of motion, blood flow, and healing.
Inflammation Reduction
Athletes will have access to various cryotherapy and compression tools designed to speed up the recovery process.
