Performance Health
Performance Health is an innovative field of healthcare that combines preventive care with the science of sports medicine to provide athletes with comprehensive care.
About Performance Health
There are more healthy athletes than medically injured athletes, and the path of Performance Health differs from traditional medicine by placing an emphasis on the healthy, non-injured individual, along with the injured.
At Orlando Health, we provide assessments and guidance to help athletes achieve peak performance. In helping athletes optimize their physiology, our Performance Health team is able to establish both baselines and relationships to best care for each athlete throughout all phases of their health. If an injury does occur, our team guides the athlete through the diagnostic, treatment and recovery process. We also provide on-site services and resources for teams and organizations, supporting athletes and allowing in-house athletic trainers and coaches to focus their skills as needed.
Athlete-Centered Care
With the athlete always at the center, we offer a multi-faceted approach to care and services, based on each athlete's individual needs.
Our team includes specialists in all areas to help optimize each athlete's performance through the following:
Fatigue – Performance Health Specialist
Injury – Primary Care Sports Medicine (PCSM)
Maintenance – Performance Health Specialist
Optimization – Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC)
Recovery – Clinical Therapist
Surgical – Orthopedic Surgeon
