About Us

The passion that brought Atkins and his great friend Topper Hagerman together almost 30 years ago still drives Howard Head Sports Medicine. Starting with their conditioning and rehab work for the U.S. Olympic Ski Team in the early 80s, JA and Topper have inspired a generation of highly gifted physical therapists.

Walk in a Howard Head Sports Medicine clinic and you feel ENERGY. Energy that radiates from cutting-edge rehab procedures developed by our therapists, in conjunction with some of the most respected orthopedic physicians in the world. Energy that’s delivered by talented therapists focused on making THIS very moment the next step in a journey to rebuild body, mind and spirit.

Our focus is on creating the most positive outcome imaginable. We do it with innovative techniques, state-of-the-art equipment and knowledgeable staff. Our goal is not simply to get you through your rehab protocol. Instead, we drive you toward a tangible goal that you want to accomplish. From racing down the slopes to kicking a ball to lifting a granddaughter, we’re here to help you conquer that condition and return to doing the things you live to do.
