Continuing a community-focused tradition spanning more than 25 years, University Orthopedics is pleased to announce the return of its Free Fall Sports Pre-Participation Exams for student-athletes of all ages, including collegiate athletes.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at UOI’s Kettle Point location in East Providence.
“We’ve helped thousands of student-athletes prepare safely for their sports seasons since this program started more than 25 years ago. An event of this size is only possible thanks to the teamwork and dedication of our physicians, advanced practice providers, and skilled therapists,” said Terry Moreno Toste, Physical Therapist and program coordinator. “Recognizing that being a student-athlete takes incredible commitment–from both the athletes and their families–it’s our goal is to help local athletes start their seasons on the right foot while easing the burden of the back-to-school season.”
As the official orthopedic provider of both the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) and the Eastern Connecticut Conference (ECC), University Orthopedics understands the diverse and specialized needs of student-athletes. In addition to its more than 65 board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians, the practice features a highly trained team of physical therapists specializing in:
- Orthopedics and sports medicine
- Concussion therapy
- Dance rehabilitation
- Injury prevention and strength training
- Spine and scoliosis treatment (Schroth Method)
- Athletic training for both high school and collegiate athletes
No appointment is necessary, though pre-scheduling is encouraged for large groups. Families, coaches, and athletic directors can find additional information and download the required forms by visiting UOI.com.
