You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from the expertise of sports medicine physicians. While Dr. Allison Schafer and Dr. Katherine Coyner are team physicians for UConn athletics, they also run the Women’s Center for Motion and Performance at UConn Health, a collection of coordinated services to keep women of all ages active and healthy, athlete or not. They join Dr. Anthony Alessi to discuss the advantages of this care model, how their individual specialties with sports medicine fit into it, and how women tend to be more susceptible to certain orthopedic injuries.
