Bringing Elite Sports Medicine to Arizona

Discover how Banner Health is elevating sports medicine care in Arizona through their flagship Banner Sports Medicine facility. I spoke with Chief of Sports Medicine Dr. Evan Lederman about building their 80,000 sq. ft. center into the premier sports injury and performance destination for everyone from youth to professional athletes.   We discuss Banner's athlete-centered model focusing on everything from cutting edge orthopedics and prehab programs to nutrition and mental health services. Dr. Lederman also shares specialized guidance for Arizona's highly active older adult population - stressing that master athletes and "weekend warriors" over 40 benefit greatly from expert input to prevent overuse injuries and properly fuel their bodies as metabolism changes with age.   Whether you're a lifelong athlete or just ramping up a fitness routine later in life, this episode offers insider tips on setting smart goals and staying at your peak while keeping injury risks low.   #sportsdoctor #athletictraining #physicaltherapy #healthandwellness
