Specializes in Sports Medicine

A lot of sports: Unfortunately im seeing many athletes who are playing 2 or 3 sports all through the year yound athletes are doing to much even in the off seasons which is not allowing minor injuries to heal. I think the overweight young people will end up with bigger long term problems with heart and blood pressure issues.
