*Note:  Internship must be 12 weeks or longer.
Sports and Orthopaedic Therapy Services was founded in 1987 by Robert C. Grossman, P.T. and John A. Romero, M.A., P.T., S.C.S. The facility has 3200 sq. ft. of treatment area and office space with Isokinetic and other exercise devices, but the emphasis of treatment is on accurate assessment of somatic dysfunctions and their treatment through manual therapy. The treatment population is of all ages excluding infants. Typical diagnosis may include somatic dysfunctions of the lumbar spine, thoracic cage, cervical spine, and peripheral joints. All Clinical Instructors are actively engaged in teaching postgraduate clinical education seminars through a group called Chesapeake Clinical Resources which have been providing these courses across the country and specifically in Maryland, Virginia, D.C., and Delaware since 1989. Mr. Grossman also serves as clinical adjunct faculty at Shenandoah University in Winchester Virginia. Students at SP.O.RT.S. are expected to have a keen interest in developing their sports/orthopaedic physical therapy evaluation and treatment skills. All students receive a series of lectures covering the spine and extremities. Your clinical instructor, with your help, will design any optional lectures to be given based on specific areas which you feel weak in or would like more information on. Student affiliating at SP.OR.T.S. will practice in a safe manner thereby not introducing iatrogenic dysfunctions secondary to performing procedures beyond their level of competency. Students will understand the concept of reactivity so as to treat patients safely. Students are responsible for an in-service to be presented to the SP.OR.T.S. Physical Therapy staff near the end of the affiliation on a topic appropriate for our facility or a special project as directed by their C. I.. Students are also responsible for interacting with patients, staff and other health care providers in a positive manner thereby promoting Sports and Orthopacdic Therapy Services, themselves, and the physical therapy profession. Students assume responsibility for seeking out and acting on the need for a furtherance of their education through literature and book reviews. The objectives for students at Sports and Orthopaedic Therapy Services are to develop the ability to perform skilled, biomechanical evaluations of the spine and extremities. The students will be exposed to osteopathic approaches to evaluation and treatment. In this regard, students are responsible for developing a strong biomechanical and anatomical approach to orthopaedic dysfunction. They must also be receptive to traditional and non-traditional treatment approaches. Students will learn basic mobilization and soft tissue evaluation and treatment of peripheral as well as axial skeletal somatic dysfunctions. Basic clinical skills such as goniometry and MMT are enhanced. Students will also learn to write concise SOAP notes and dictate letters to referring physicians. Sports and Orthopaedic Therapy Services is dedicated to clinical excellence. In that regard, the clinic will be designed in a way that is conducive to reaming, will maintain state-of-the-art equipment, and will employ therapists dedicated to continuing education. All clinical instructors will respect student needs relative to personality, learning styles, and be non discriminatory in regard to gender, religion or race. Clinical instructors (C.I.) will organize an in-service schedule which includes Evaluation of omatic Dysfunction of the Axial Skeleton, peripheral joints, and thoracic cage. The C.I. will also determine, with the students' assistance, any areas of optional lectures to be given. A library is provided at Sports and Orthopacdic Therapy Services but books are required to stay in the clinic. All staff, regardless of their relationship to the student, are generally available to answer clinical questions but students are directly responsible to their own C.I. The C.I. is responsible for evaluating the student and filing all necessary paperwork. At the beginning and middle of the affiliation, the C.I. and student will determine areas of weaknesses and strengths and thereby fulfill the needs to the student for making the internship optimal. The staff at Sports and Orthopaedic Therapy Services will provide a stimulating educational experience that will force the student to extend their abilities from a clinical, didactic, and administrative perspective.

Students at SP.O.R.T.S. will have a fun, but challenging learning experience.

We are a 25 bed hospital, with 48 beds in ECC; there is 1 full time PT at the hospital and 1 aide. The SportsMed clinic is about two miles from the hospital and stays very busy all year. At the clinic there are 4 PTs, 2 PTAs, and 4 aides. The PT's vary in treatment style. For example, I am more Maitland oriented and come from a more traditional PT environment. Bob (the director) is more sports medicine oriented, with more Gimbsy and Paris in his background. Generally we offer students the time to observe surgeries, spend a morning with one of the orthopedic surgeons in his office, pool therapy, and covering athletic events, since Bob is also ATC. We are located in the Rocky Mountains (3.5 hours from Denver). We are a resort/ski town within a large ranch community. People are very open and friendly and the clinic is a relaxed easy place to learn.
