Keeping Athletes Safe at School

As the school year begins and sports seasons kick off, it’s important to make sure student athletes stay safe. At Clear Lake Physical Therapy (CLPTRS), we are committed to helping young athletes in our community stay healthy and strong, so they can play their best and avoid getting hurt.

We’re excited to partner with Clayton and Prairie Farm school districts as their sports medicine providers. This partnership helps us make sure that student athletes get the care they need, right at school. By offering onsite care, easy access to physical therapy, and expert advice, we’re helping athletes play safely and reach their full potential.

Kyle Larson, DPT is at Prairie Farm High School every Monday from 3:30-4:30, and Emily Monson, PT is at Clayton High School every Wednesday from 3:15-4:30. These visits allow athletes to get quick attention for any injuries, so they can receive treatment right away.

But we know injuries can happen anytime, not just when a therapist is at school. That’s why student athletes can also make appointments at any of our CLPTRS offices if they need to be seen sooner. Our therapists can help decide if an athlete is ready to play again, if they need to see a doctor, or if they should start physical therapy.

We have offices in Amery, Clear Lake, Prairie Farm, and Turtle Lake, so we can help athletes from a large area prevent injuries and recover from injuries and surgeries.

Our therapists work as a team to make sure every athlete gets the right care and a recovery plan that fits their needs, so they can play their best for their team.

Our performance center in Clear Lake is also an important part of our care. It is a nice, sizable space for agility training and other fun exercises that help athletes get better and improve their skills.

Playing sports in school isn’t just about winning games. It’s about learning, growing, and staying healthy. Having sports medicine services in schools helps prevent injuries, teaches safe practices, and supports athletes as they develop their skills.

As the school sports seasons continue, let’s focus on safety and well-being. With the right care and support, our student athletes can enjoy the game, get better at their skills, and stay healthy.
