You say sports med clinics and. Rehab clinics are one in the same. Why will these patients not get “rehab” at sports med clinics?

Names are majik! Call it rehab and it’s dull. Call it a sports medicine therapy…and it shines. And so do the profits of the facilities that will be raking it in as they provide what is essentially rehab services, treatments and techniques that — cuz they are sports rehab — will be able to be charged at the primo-fee rate.

The dark side on this: the thousands (no, make that millions) of people over 65 what actually NEED rehab who won’t be able to get it becasue all the rehab techs and therapists will be in “sports rehab clinics” making bigger buck$ doing the same thing they’d be doing IF they were working in a standard rehab facility.

Please, someone out there, tell me I’m reading this wrong.

Whowever thought up the idea of renaming the facilities is a genius.
