SCHEDULE A NEUROLOGICAL SPORTS PHYSICAL TODAY
Our athletes deserve more than a stamp of approval.
A sports physical is an essential, mandatory step for athletes, ensuring they are fit and safe to participate. But athletes deserve a comprehensive approach that goes far beyond mere approval to play.
That’s why Tomahawk Science’s Neurological Sport Physicals (NSPs) include advanced neurological and dynamic movement-based screening. This screening is crucial in identifying potential issues that, if unaddressed, could lead to injuries. For instance, volleyball players are particularly susceptible to ACL/MCL, ankle and shoulder injuries. And by getting a personal baseline early, athletes can benefit from tailored, sport-specific programming that can help avoid injuries and enhance their individual performance.
