You don\u2019t have to be an athlete to benefit from the expertise of sports medicine physicians. While\u00a0Dr. Allison Schafer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Dr. Katherine Coyner<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are team physicians for UConn athletics, they also run the Women\u2019s 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\u00a0Dr. Anthony Alessi<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to 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.<\/p>\n
