Empire Revolution Soccer Academy has set up a clear path for our injured athletes to get healthy and competing as soon as possible. Here is the recommended path from the moment of injury to back on the field competing at a high level...

When injured, or suspecting an injury, immediately contact the clubs' Athletic Trainer. Do not self-diagnose.

If orthopedic specialists are needed the trainer will refer the athlete to Buffalo Orthopeadic Group (BOG).  Mention you are a member of Empire and BOG will expedite your appointment.  In addition, with your permission, a clear communication channel has been set up between BOG and the club's athletic trainer to make sure everyone is on the same page and we are being as efficient as possible.  

If Physical Therapy is required, we recommend contacting Joe Robinson from Greater Buffalo Physical Therapy.  Again, mention you are an Empire member and get extra TLC.  Greater Buffalo Physical Therapy now has an office right in Sportsplex. 

Finally, you are now back to where mere mortals consider normal, but our athletes want to be better than normal, they want to be exceptional.  At this point we recommend our athletes see John Opfer with Proformance Sports Training.  John will make sure they are at top physical condition. A lot of organizations will claim to enhance your athletic abilities, but John and his team actually deliver on that promise.  Most importantly, they do so in a safe, developmentally appropriate, and soccer specific way.
