There is an exciting forum on the website of the American Sports Medicine Institute that has tons of information for both the clinician and the athlete. For those that are not aware, the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) is the research and education institute of Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, AL under the direction of Dr. Glenn Fleisig.
ASMI is one of the world-wide leaders in sports medicine research and education, especially in the field of baseball. In fact, ASMI was the leading force behind many of the protective guidelines that are now in place in within Little League Baseball and USA Baseball to prevent youth baseball injuries. I have posted about these guidelines and how they help prevent little league injuries in the past.
I worked at ASMI for years and was a graduate of their Sports Physical Therapy Fellowship program so I know first hand that this is a great forum. When I offer advice for physical therapy students, one of the first I recommend is to seek out the leaders in the field that you would like to work in one day. Well, I sought out ASMI.
The forum has frequent posts by Dr. Fleisig and his staff and is a great opportunity to learn, interact, and to ask questions from a variety of sports medicine experts. Visit the forum today:
