Sports Performance and Injury Reduction Program
The Armor Physical Therapy Sports P.A.I.R. Program is designed to partner or PAIR with our local high school teams and athletes to work in conjunction with the athletic department, coaches, athletic trainers, and parents to provide unique opportunities to facilitate success. For an athlete, improving their sports performance is first and foremost. In addition to performance, our priority is to assist in reducing the risk for injury and loss of playing time. There are different facets to our program that we feel can benefit any sports program or athlete sharing a common goal.
