Hoag Orthopedic Institute (HOI) announced its partnership with ProSport Physical Therapy and Performance in January 2019, but the two organizations had been coordinating care through HOI’s affiliated sports medicine physicians and physical therapists at ProSport for some time. Like HOI, ProSport is well known in the community for superior outcomes in their comprehensive rehabilitation services for all patients, including professional and top-performing athletes.

After interviewing several surgeons, Amy Rodriguez, two-time Olympic gold-medal winning professional soccer player for the Utah Royals, chose orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Shepard of Hoag Orthopedic Institute to treat her torn ACL because she felt an immediate connection with him. “He’s got great hands, is very passionate about what he does and came highly recommended,” Amy added. “He understands how professional athletes click and has a lot of experience in helping elite athletes get back to their sport.”

Proport Physical Therapy and Performance’s Director of Sport Performance, Matt Camargo, MS, CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) recently shared about the benefits of foam rolling.
