What’s Your Injury Risk?

Injury Screening Event

Saturday- September 17, 2011

12:00pm – 2:00pm


Potomac River Running Store (Rockville Town Square)

115 S. Gibbs Street – Rockville, Maryland


Dr. Tamer Issa, PT, DPT, physical therapist from ISSA PHYSICAL THERAPY, will be the medical professional who will be hosting the injury screening this weekend at the Potomac River Running Store in the Rockville Town Square. Dr. Issa will be preforming a functional movement assessment for those who attend and will be providing a follow up report detailing one’s injury risk.

Sports injuries are difficult to predict, so we utilize only the most up-to-date, research-based tests. Research suggests that poor movement patterns, decreased balance, and previous injury are the most powerful predictors of future injury. Since injury risk is related to multiple factors, we use the athletes’ age, gender, sport and test results data to help predict the likelihood of injury. This system has been proven to prevent injuries with athletes. Find out what’s ‘Your Injury Risk’!
