Mich. - On April 16, the University of Michigan Health System's MedSport sports medicine service will open a branch location at the Livonia Health Center . And with spring sports teams in full gear and summer team practices just starting, MedSport is arriving just in time to serve Livonia-area athletes' training and conditioning needs during this busy sports season. MedSport already has established a presence among young athletes in Livonia, having just recently signed contracts to provide athletic training services with four high area schools - Livonia Clarenceville, Franklin, Churchhill and Stevenson.
Agreements are under review with two others.
The goal of MedSport, established in 1986 and headquartered at Domino's Farms in Ann Arbor, is to provide high quality preventive, diagnostic and rehabilitative care in the areas of orthopaedic sports medicine, physical therapy and training to both athletes and non-athletes. They also become part of the schools and the teams that they work with. School athletic trainers can offer many services on site. In addition to the new Livonia site and the main location at Domino's Farms, MedSport also has clinics at the Brighton Health Center and the Ann Arbor Ice Cube. MedSport safety tips as well as experts are available.
