Description
CrossFit: dangerous fad or fitness panacea? The AMSSM talks safety with Drs Sean Rockett and Robert Oh.
Few topics in sports draw such universally strong opinions from medical providers as that of CrossFit. Most seem to love or hate it, but are their strong opinions justified? Does current data back-up the concerns many of us have regarding the safety of this sport? What are the common injury patterns that are found? Host Dr. Devin McFadden, MD is joined by Dr. Sean Rockett, MD and Dr. Robert Oh, MD to explore these topics and more on the AMSSM Sports Medcast.
Dr. Sean Rockett is an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Tufts University School of Medicine, president of Orthopedics New England and author of 321GoMD.com an injury prevention website for CrossFitters. He is head of the Orthopedic division for the Medical team for The CrossFit Games.
Dr. Robert Oh, Sports Medicine physician and CrossFitter for 12 years. He’s the Chief of the Family Medicine Dept at Madigan Army Medical Center and Fellowship director for the Leader and Faculty Development at Madigan.
