Rocky Mountain Therapy Services/West Valley City has been providing services in West Valley City since 1983 and in this location with Granger Medical Clinic since 1999. We work with the physicians in our community as well as those throughout the Wasatch front. Through our relationship with physicians, we are able to provide a quality outcome and patient education focus to clients.
Rocky Mountain Therapy Services has been a provider of comprehensive and state of the art Sports Medicine services in the West Valley and surrounding areas for more than 25 years. Sports medicine involves diagnosing, treating, and preventing medical injuries or conditions in individuals who are active in sports and focuses on health issues that are caused during or by playing sports.
The sports medicine team refers to the physician, the athletic trainer, the physical therapist, the athlete, and the coaches who must work together to ensure rapid access to medical care, appropriate and timely intervention, and a team approach aimed towards recovery and return to sport.
We provide Athletic Training services to local high school, college, and professional teams. Our efforts extend to the community sports clubs as well. RMTS is committed to excellence in the delivery of our services including injury assessment and treatment, rehabilitation, orthopedic access, consultation and education.
We are currently working with various local High Schools. We have provided medical care for the Utah Grizzlies hockey team since their arrival in 1995 and cared for the Salt Lake Golden Eagles until they were relocated out of state. Kearns Rugby and the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association also utilize our expertise. We are continually providing our support to many soccer tournaments, races, and other community athletic events. We have worked with Salt Lake Community College in providing medical care for all the athletes which included a full time onsite Athletic Trainer, Physical Therapist for rehabilitation, and physician for game coverage.
Our staff continues to look for opportunities to serve the community in which we reside. In short, RMTS is fully committed to providing local athletes the absolute best, most comprehensive and convenient medical care available.
