Acute Injury Partnership

The What?

A partnership between an organized sports team or performing art group aimed to provide expedited access to health care professionals to quickly and accurately diagnose an injury within a 48hr time frame. Then provide continued injury updates to the coaches and team staff to further coordinate the best care for athletes.

The How

High Priority Acute Injury Assessment:

  • Initial assessment taking place within 24 - 48hrs of contacting the clinic completed by Dr. Sherren. 

A focused and detailed assessment:

  • A modern approach combining an in-depth history and detailed biomechanical assessments to accurately diagnose an athlete/performer’s injury or biomechanical restriction.

Collaborative Communication:

  • A concise initial consultation report within 24 - 48 hours

  • Ongoing athlete updates to coaches as requested (*based on the athlete’s/ parent’s written consent). 

  • Collaborative treatment planning to support effective and efficient return to on field play for athletes with the athlete's overall best interest in mind.
