Sports Medicine Locations and Facilities

The Sports Medicine Center at Children’s Hospital Colorado offers state-of-the-art facilities designed to help young athletes recover, train, improve and safely return to play.

Why our sports medicine facilities make a difference

Recovering from an injury takes more than time — it requires the right environment, equipment and team. Our sports medicine facilities help young athletes progress from rehabilitation to real-world movement, giving them the opportunity to practice the skills, drills and sport-specific activities they’ll need to return to play.

At each location, athletes work with physical therapists who specialize in sports medicine and understand the unique demands of growing bodies and competitive sports. Through evaluations, individualized treatment plans and expert guidance, our team helps athletes build strength, improve movement and gain confidence throughout recovery.

By combining specialized therapy spaces, sports fields and experienced experts, our team can evaluate how athletes move in environments that closely reflect their sport and help them safely return to the activities they love.

Therapy gyms designed for young athletes 

Our therapy gyms are made just for athletes. Whether recovering from an injury, surgery or overuse condition, athletes work one-on-one with sports physical therapists to improve their condition.

To support every stage of rehabilitation, each therapy gym includes training equipment to address strength, agility, speed and endurance. The gym is where athletes build the foundation of their recovery, regain confidence in their abilities and develop power and stability for their sport.

Sports therapy fields for rehabilitation

Our sports fields help athletes put their progress into practice. By coaching our athletes through their first experience back on the field after an injury, we can watch athletes in action with a trained eye to help improve their technique and lessen their chance of reinjury.

This multi-surface sports field includes:

• A basketball court
• Turf field for soccer, football or lacrosse
• Track for running and agility work

What should I expect from my sports therapy field sessions?

Players typically hit the field or court during the final stages of their recovery when our experts add sport-specific motions back into their routines. By easing athletes back into their sport on a therapy field, our specialists can keep a close eye on how their recovery is progressing.

During a session, recovering athletes will:

• Start with fundamental drills like moving in a straight line or side-to-side.
• Next, learn how to cut, pivot and change directions safely with proper form.
• Eventually, athletes progress to more sport-specific movements including reacting to other players, as needed.

Many of our sports medicine team members are athletes themselves so they’ll often take on the role of a player’s opponent and help provide true-to-sport practice drills.

Supporting every stage of sports injury recovery

Recovery looks different for every athlete, but expert guidance can make all the difference. From initial rehabilitation to return-to-play training, our sports medicine facilities and specialized physical therapists support athletes through every stage of healing. By combining a multidisciplinary team focused on their success with real-world training environments, we help athletes build confidence and restore movement.

Alongside individualized training at a therapy gym or field, our services include specialized clinics that our team may suggest, including:

• The Female Athlete Program focused on the full health of female athletes, not just recovery
• The Gymnastics Medicine Clinic to help gymnasts stay healthy and perform their best
• The Running Athlete Clinic for runners of all ages and abilities
• Pediatric Sports Nutrition Care to fuel athletes for optimal performance
