Sports can be a lot of fun, but it's also important to participate safely. The Sports Medicine team at FHN offers a variety of programs and types of training to keep athletes' performance at its peak. The FHN Sports Medicine team includes specialty physicians and surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, coaches, and other personnel.

  • Sports Injury Reduction: FHN athletic trainers are experienced at evaluating the athlete to assess for areas of possible injury. An individualized home program is developed to best prepare the athlete for a healthy season.
  • Individual Personalized Training: This is for the weekend warrior. After an assessment for injuries, the athletic trainer works with the individual to develop a personalized training program, including education on proper exercise technique and body mechanics and basic nutritional education.
