Quality and Effective Care for Athletic Injuries


When working with an injured athlete, the goal at LMH Sports Injury Rehabilitation is to guide the patient down the road of recovery in a quick, but safe fashion. When clinicians at LMH are allowed the privilege to work with a patient, the focus is on providing quality and effective care. The patient will see a specialist in sports injuries. Why?  Sports rehab specialists can return athletes back to the game with treatments based on the knowledge of the sport and position demands needed to return to sport participation. Backgrounds in athletic training and sport conditioning allow athletes to regain lost strength, speed and quickness when recovering from an ACL knee surgery, ankle sprain or even a shoulder injury.

"Be Better"




Therapists at Lawrence Memorial Hospital Therapy Services (Kreider) choose daily to become better in what we know, how we treat and how we communicate with patients.  There is a constant burning desire to improve clinical skills, attitude and knowledge base to help patients. Clinicians surpass the required education to maintain licensed and study journal articles, attend classes, read the latest books and even monitor current blogs related to the rehabilitation field to learn new ideas and concepts to help enhance treatments. This passion to improve is to benefit our patients and provide the Lawrence community with exceptional rehabilitation care.  Everyday is an opportunity for each of us to be better at our job and help the next patient needing our help recover function and prevent future injury.
