specialized therapy is offered by Rehabilitation Services and Sports Medicine at Memorial Hospital and Abilene High School for student athletes. It involves not only the treatment of sports-related injuries but preventive education for safe participation in competitive sports, fitness, or recreational activities. The sports medicine program offers concussion management services, providing baseline screenings for student athletes prior to the beginning of the season to use as comparative data in case the athlete has a concussion. Data is compared so the physician may make an informed return-to-play decision.
