Sports Injuries #SportsInjury
Why treat injuries when you can prevent them?
Injuries are a part of every athlete’s life. An injury can be a career-ending one if it is not treated promptly. What I see most often are an incorrect diagnosis and inadequate rehabilitation. In addition, many have an underlying metabolic condition that goes unrecognized.
How does it work?
- Musculoskeletal Assessment
- Metabolic Screening
- Nutrition Assessment
- Lifestyle Assessment
- Rehabilitation
- Return to Play Assessment
A functional diagnosis, aggressive treatment, accelerated rehabilitation, and customized injury prevention program is what an athlete needs to return to the field in the quickest possible time and stay injury-free!
Medical Fitness for Competitive Sports #PCMA
Are you medically fit for sport?
Vigorous exercise can increase the chances of sudden cardiac death. Medical conditions like coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) often go undiagnosed, especially in asymptomatic athletes.
How does it work?
- Medical History
- Systemic Examination
- Musculoskeletal Screening
- Diagnostics
- Treatment
- Medical Clearance
A pre-competitive medical assessment (PCMA) not just provides an insight into the risk of competitive training on the health of the athlete, but also serves as a baseline for future comparison.
Athlete Health #AthleteHealth
Is your medical condition limiting your performance?
Athletes, like normal people, may suffer from medical conditions that need treatment. Many athletes have prescribed medications that are listed in the WADA Prohibited List which are a frequent reason for a failed dope test, an anti-doping rule violation.
How does it work?
- History
- Examination
- Diagnostics
- Treatment
- Therapeutic Use Exemption Certificate
- Reassessment
Athletes need to prescribe alternative medications that are not a part of the WADA Prohibited list. In case of such necessity, a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) certificate becomes mandatory.
Doping Control #DopingControl
Are you on steroids but need monitoring?
Many athletes, especially bodybuilders are forced to take steroids to improve their physique. Although this is not the best approach but not taking it under the guidance of a medical professional may lead to catastrophic consequences.
How does it work?
- Medical History
- Clinical Examination
- Metabolic Screening
- Nutrition Planning
- Workout Planning
- Steroid Dosing
Get help from professionals to monitor your health while you are on the steroid cycle.

Does making weight prior to weigh-in sound like a nightmare?

How does it work?
- Medical History
- Clinical Examination
