Assisting athletes in enhancing their on-field performance is another hallmark of McDonald Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation Center. Through coaching high school sports, participation on a national champion football team at Notre Dame, and working with professional and amateur athletes, Fran McDonald has encouraged better performance from players.

We are known for our work in training individuals to use their bodies with more precision and skill, reduce possibility of injury, and increase strength and stamina. Constant involvement with research on the body's biomechanics keeps us at the forefront of new possibilities in both injury recovery and refinement of athletic abilities.

We work with a number of sports groups and athletes from as far away as Japan, yet we are never too busy or too involved to work with the recreational athlete recovering from injury or wishing to improve performance.

We can:

• Assess athletes' performance abilities.
• Condition athletes to improve performance.
• Recommend assistive or safety equipment to reduce injuries.
• Evaluate and treat athletic injuries.
• Develop fitness programs for individual athletes.
