Coaching the Chattanooga Ski Club on Injury Prevention

August 3, 2011 - The Chattanooga Ski Club invited Spine & Sport Physical Therapy's therapist, Heath Perez, PT, DPT to speak at their membership meeting last night.  Perez discussed the importance of proper training before hitting the slopes to help reduce injury.  He explained how the Functional Movement Screen is an excellent tool that can be used to detect and correct "weak links" in movement patterns, helping to reduce the chance of an injury sustained while training or skiing.
