Step two:
Following the four informational series described above, Athletes Treating Athletes will shift it’s focus to specific injuries.
What you can expect: 1) Descriptions of possible diagnoses in each region discussed to date, 2) assistance in determining which health care profession can help you best in the form of “consultations” by our guests, and 3) how to apply the series above to your recovery.
