Our goal for our patients in their healing journeys is to get back to their sport or every- day life with maximum mo- bility without pain.”
“I’ ve been an athletic trainer for over 35 years, mostly in the high school setting at private and public schools in Honolulu,” Ross explains. “We established Hawai‘i Optimum Perfor- mance in 2002 to help ath- letes prevent injuries. In the process, these programs help athletes increase their sports performance, while utilizing proper biomechanical form to reduce injuries.”
Other local professional football players who train with HOP include NFL/ CFL great Chad Owens, Manti Te‘o and DeForest Buckner. Some of the Little League World Series cham- pion players who recently returned with their cham- pionship hardware are also patients.
