Women’s Sports Medicine Program

The Women’s Sports Medicine Program is for active women of all ages and abilities. A part of our Rehabilitation and Human Performance Department, we take a collaborative approach to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, keep moving, and reach your personal best.

Why Women’s Sports Medicine?

Women are increasingly participating in sport and exercise. Understanding what makes female athletes unique is fundamental for their health and performance. Given the anatomical, physiological, biomechanical and hormonal differences, the sports medicine needs of female athletes can differ from those of their male counterparts. Whether the goal is injury prevention, performance optimization, or recovery and rehabilitation, each requires a specific set of knowledge and skills that are tailored to women.

“Our mission is to keep women active and healthy throughout their lifespan—through clinical care, science, education, research, and innovation.”

We strive to empower and educate all women participating in exercise and physical activity, from the recreational to the elite.
