🎓💪 Our DPT students are leveling up!
Third-year students in our Principles of Sports Medicine Elective are getting hands-on with advanced shoulder assessments, biomechanical analysis, and return-to-sport testing used by clinicians in high-performance settings.

We’re proud to have this elective led by Rockhurst DPT alum Kyle Veazey, PT, DPT, OCS at The University of Kansas Sports Medicine and Performance Center. We were fortunate to have another Rockhurst PT alum, Jason Brinkman, PT assisting us this evening as well! 🙌

Future clinicians, rising strong. 🏋️‍♂️📈
