We are excited to introduce the free community lecture series at Sports + Orthopedic Leaders!

These are workshops presented by our therapists and trainers that are designed to give our community and active clients insight and practical information to enhance performance and prevent injuries and are sport-specific.

These lecture/workshops are presented on Thursday evenings starting at 7 PM promptly, in our upstairs gym at  our facility, Sports + Orthopedic Leaders, located in Rockridge, 5297A College Avenue, Oakland, CA 94618.

Availability is limited so we ask that you call and let us know that you would like to attend. (Call 510-547-1630). If you are unfamiliar with Sports + Orthopedic Leaders, we are in a professional building behind the blue-domed building where Christopher’s Hamburgers is located, behind 5295 College Avenue. The cross street is Clifton. For more information, you can click on the title for each topic.
