The Institute for Preventative Sports Medicine (IPSM)
is a non-profit research organization dedicated to the prevention of
sports-related injuries and health care cost containment. Its research
focuses on finding effective and practical ways to reduce sports related
injuries and speed the rehabilitation of injured athletes. The
Institute also seeks ways to disseminate its research findings to
benefit the public at large.
 The Institute for Preventative Sports Medicine
is a non-profit organization with a two-fold mission: to conduct
medical research oriented to finding effective and practical ways to
reduce sports-related injuries and speed the rehabilitation of injured
athletes; and to develop resources to fund research for the same
purposes, by other researchers and institutions.
The goals of the Institute are: to achieve
healthier, safer sports activity for recreational, amateur and
professional athletes, by reducing the frequency and severity of
sports-related injuries; and to reduce the costs of acute health care
and rehabilitation. These goals may be achieved through a wide range of
endeavors, including but not limited to: development of protective
equipment, rules modification, conditioning practices, injury treatment
techniques, and instructional methodology.
The Institute for Preventative Sports
Medicine is the only organization in the United States devoted to the
development of preventative sports medicine practice. Many other
institutes, clinics and research groups exist for the treatment and
rehabilitation of the injured athlete. But the Institute for
Preventative Sports Medicine is unique in directing its efforts to
preventative measures - the only measures which offer real opportunity
to preserve life and well being, while reducing health care cost.
Funds for research and operation of the Institute are obtained entirely
through tax-deductible contributions from individuals, foundations,
corporations, and by grants from public and private agencies. The
Institute for Preventative Sports Medicine does not make or support
commercial endorsements for its financial development.
