Dr. Rathna Nuti with TMI Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Surgery says it’s important that female athletes get medical care and physical therapy from a sports medicine provider who takes a female-specific and individualized approach to their care. “Male and female athletes may share the same drive for performance, but they don’t share the same build,” Dr. Nuti says. “Men and women have different anatomical builds which can place women at a higher risk of injury, particularly in the adolescent years when so much training and conditioning takes place.”
