Rehabilitating athletes with traumatic sports injuries

One of the most common high school sport-related injuries, an ACL tear can end an athlete’s competitive career if the lengthy rehabilitation process is economically out of reach. Low-grade ankle sprains, which are often overlooked, tend to be precursors to chronic pain, instability, and more serious problems. The OK2PLAY Foundation helps athletes with these types of injuries restore functional movement and prevent further injury, using a combination of strength and conditioning, rehabilitative exercises, and soft tissue treatment.

Preventing injuries through screening and education

We lead screening workshops to help high school coaches identify which of their athletes are at high risk for injury and provide corrective treatment before injury occurs. The OK2PLAY Foundation also offers education for coaches, athletic trainers, and practitioners in injury prevention techniques and return-to-play protocols that maximize long term success. Our goal is for more young athletes to remain injury-free so they may achieve their full athletic potential in college and beyond.

Athletes learning exercises for injury prevention

Our team consists of personal trainers, coaches and manual therapists who are experts in their fields. Our practicioners and their methods are trusted and endorsed by many Olympians, World Record holders, and numerous other elite athletes.
