Eager runners of all ages crowded the University golf course this past Saturday for the annual Mountain West Cross-Country Classic. Over 2,700 athletes from around the Northwest traveled to compete, with over 70 high schools and 40 middle schools represented. Alpine Physical Therapists Brace Hayden and Dennis McCrea, and outreach support staff, Jed Diehl and Kaile Sauro provided runner first aide at the finish line; supplying athletes with sport injury consults, lots of ice, ankle wraps, and shoulders to collapse on after a grueling three-mile effort. Hayden and McCrea provided a range of services from treatment of foot and ankle pain to supplying ice and recovery techniques for irritated joints. Athletes and parents alike inquired of Alpine therapists about injury prevention, treatment, and maintenance throughout the event. Outside of sports outreach events like this, the Alpine Physical Therapy team provides athletes of all sports with first-class care every day. Alpine therapists specialize in everything including running analysis, recovery techniques after a long day on the slopes, injury prevention for court sports, and concussion treatment for contact sports. No matter your sport, Alpine Physical Therapy can help you prepare, heal, and improve your performance. Call or stop by one of our three convenient locations and ask how Alpine can help you today.
