Sports medicine is a complex field of curative and preventive care that draws on more than half a century of medical observations and experience related to physical activity, training, and competition to prevent diseases, treat injuries, and provide rehabilitation.
Sports physicians apply the findings of numerous medical specialties to prepare athletes, improve their performance, and protect their health. They examine the effects of physical activity, training, and competition—as well as the absence thereof. Their assistance is vital for both recreational and elite athletes.
When an athlete is injured or becomes ill, they often hide their symptoms because they do not want to miss training sessions or competitions. This poor decision puts a strain on their body, which usually leads to a decline in performance, a prolonged recovery, and, in some cases, further injury. Therefore, this must be avoided at all costs!
In the event of an injury or illness, the primary goal is to restore the athlete’s health as quickly as possible; only after this has been achieved, and under the supervision of a sports physician, should the training load be gradually increased, thereby reducing the risk of re-injury due to the original injury and the resulting time off, as well as the risk of a potential relapse.
At the Pasamed sports medicine clinic, we treat injuries and illnesses and help athletes gradually resume their sports activities after recovery. Our goal is to restore not only the athlete’s health but also their performance, while avoiding further setbacks and periods of inactivity! From this perspective, we make no distinction between competitive and recreational athletes.
Our sports medicine specialists provide personalized advice based on specialized examinations to ensure safe participation in sports, and if they deem it necessary, they will recommend further consultation with a specialist.
We are unable to issue sports medicine clearances at our clinic.
