FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Diego Charger Girls and e2k Sports partner with Dr. Mindy Mar and San Diego Center for Health for Chargers 2009-10 Season

San Diego, CA (August 5, 2009) – San Diego Charger Girls and e2k Sports are pleased to announce they have resigned San Diego Center for Health as the Official Health and Wellness Center for the San Diego Charger Girls for the third year in a row.

Dr. Mindy Mar will serve as the Charger Girls team doctor on game day, providing on-site healthcare to the squad. "Dr. Mar contributes greatly to our success on game day,” states Lisa Simmons, director of the San Diego Charger Girls. “The on-site healthcare services she provides aids in the restoration and maintenance of the complete health and balance needed to perform successfully on the field. She unleashes the power of good health in us!"

The proper and immediate treatment is imperative to the athlete’s health. The risk of stunting and tumbling can result in injuries ranging from sprained ankles, bruised wrists, and soft tissue damage to more catastrophic injuries such as torn ligaments, broken bones, and trauma to the neck and back. Dr. Mar utilizes a combined approach to treating soft tissue injuries through manual therapy, functional reconditioning and strengthening techniques.

“I am a huge advocate of promoting the athletic side of cheerleading,” says Dr. Mar. “The more demanding the athletic skill for performance, the higher the risk of sports-related injuries becomes. Professional cheerleaders and dancers rank very similarly to Olympic gymnasts and runners when comparing athletic endurance and stress on the body.”

The San Diego Charger Girls on-site healthcare includes chiropractic adjustments, athletic and kinesio-taping, physiotherapy, soft tissue therapy, strength and conditioning exercises and stretching protocols. "SDCH is a caring and highly qualified multi-specialty wellness team committed to helping our team achieve our health and lifestyle goals," says Lisa Simmons.
