Research

We strongly believe that evidence-based therapy practice provides optimal outcomes for our patients, so we have a dedicated research team that participates in ongoing medical research with physicians and hospitals across the country.

We are also in the process of becoming the only sports residency program accredited by the American Physical Therapy Association in the state of Idaho. Sports Residents are licensed physical therapists who are seeking the distinguished Sports Clinical Specialist (SCS) designation. The program focuses on five primary areas:

  • Critical inquiry/Evidence-based practice
  • Educational/consultation
  • Advanced clinical skills
  • Foundational and clinical sciences
  • Health promotion, fitness and wellness

The Sports Residency Program is 12 months in duration.
