USC PT UPC clinic faculty and residents represented at the USC Rec Fest this past week. Our sports resident provides a sports injury walk in clinic and event coverage for the USC Club Sports teams.

It’s a happy day and sad day at our USC UPC PT clinic. We say congrats to Cari Stankaitis on passing her SCS exam and finishing the USC D1 sports PT fellowship. Good luck on your next adventure, we are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you do the sports physical therapy field.
Fight on!

Spring has sprung! Little photo dump from our USC sports residents and of our awesome crew during a full day of residency interviews.

Shoutout to sports residency faculty Dr. Jonathan Sum, PT and Dr. Lori Michener, PhD; and our residency/ fellowship alum Dr. Hannah Dove, PT and Dr. Tommy Brice, PT for their publication in Sports Health on how hip strength can affect elbow injuries.

Give a listen to our very own Dr. Lori Michener, PhD, PT, chat about the new strategic framework and other updates from the .official.

Literally can’t see the other side line because the fog is so thick. Our sports resident, Tim Brown, covering some high school football with this past weekend.

Here some action from our resident .dpt covering some high school and junior college football. Being a sports physical therapist isn’t always treating professional athletes, athletes come in all ages, shapes and sizes.

This post is way overdue, but if haven’t heard it yet, one of our sports residency faculty members, Dr. Lori Michener, was on the Insights podcast over talking about shoulder research. Dr. Michener is a leader in the sports physio world when it comes to the shoulder.
