Our Lighthouse PT Community Partners
Proud to Support Student-Athletes at University High School and Ridgeline High School
We take pride in our strong community ties, particularly through our partnerships with local high school sports in Spokane, WA. These important collaborations make it possible for us to provide specialized support and care to the local area’s student-athletes, helping them perform at their best while staying safe and healthy.
Lighthouse Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine is trusted to support the athletic programs at University High School and Ridgeline High School through our dedicated team of full-time athletic trainers (ATCs). Our ATCs are an essential part of these schools’ athletic programs, working tirelessly to ensure the well-being of every student-athlete.
What Our Spokane Athletic Trainers Do:
- Injury Assessment: Our ATCs provide thorough evaluations of injuries sustained by student-athletes during practices and games, ensuring quick and accurate diagnoses.
- Rehabilitation: After an injury, our trainers guide athletes through personalized rehabilitation programs, designed to help them recover safely and return to their sport as quickly as possible.
- Emergency On-Field Care: During games and practices, our ATCs are always on hand to deliver immediate care when injuries occur, providing critical support in those high-stress moments.
Our ATCs play a key role in keeping the athletic programs running smoothly by maintaining the health and safety of the athletes both on and off the field.
