At the Good Samaritan Hospital Sports Medicine Center, we have one goal: to return athletes?whether recreational, competitive, or those who just focus on fitness?to their full range of motion, agility & strength. We provide sports-specific care for Dayton athletes of all ages because we know that sports injuries require specialized treatment.
The GSH Sports Medicine Center staff consists of trained professionals dedicated to positive patient outcomes. In addition to physical therapists, we have certified & licensed athletic trainers, strength & conditioning specialists & exercise physiologists. The sports medicine staff also partners with staff in the diagnostic department for consistency throughout the treatment process. In addition, our athletic trainers are often at games, practices & special community sporting events to treat sports injuries.
The GSH Sports Medicine Center?s facility is equipped with current equipment. However, technology is not the most important aspect of our program. Our staff develops a one-on-one relationship with our patients, bringing a caring, personal touch to the treatment process that leads to more positive outcomes.
