Myself (Dr. Benjamin Bluestein) and my colleagues able to provide initial injury assessment and treatment to your sports events AT ANY LOCATION (obviously there needs to be space available for treatment equipment, enough time to plan, etc.) . My colleagues and I can provide treatment at your crossfit box, gym, track, school or court (inside or outside). We bring health to you. If there is ongoing care needed, you may book an in clinic consultation for further evaluation and care.

Play Safe!
Athletes of all skill levels may suffer from back pain or stiffness at one point in their life. Typically, the spine is overlooked during a pre-game warm-up. A good spinal warm up can help improve shoulder range of motion and decrease stiffness overall in the spine. Off court spine mobility drills, in addition to a proper core strength and conditioning program, will help athletes improve back movement and reduce the chance of injury and pain. Back pain affects nearly every person at some point in their lives. Prevention of back pain is key, especially in terms of extending the playing lifespan of athletes.
