Mission: SMI is a nonprofit public benefit corporation committed to the advancement of athletic excellence and performance. We strive to support and promote healthy, active lifestyles. Through our clinic offering Manual Athletic Therapy, we help active individuals and competitive elite athletes, maximize their athletic potential and function at the highest level possible.
Programs: SMI offers competing amateur athletes, who do not have the financial means to afford regular rates, discounts on our services. Athletes must apply for beneficiary status and provide us with information regarding their athletic accomplishments, athletic goals, and their financial situation. A review board uses this information to determine a rate that is fair, yet affordable. The rate is determined based on their dedication, devotion, and potential for future accomplishments; a future that for some beneficiaries includes the realization of an Olympic dream. The athletes that we grant beneficiary status have made numerous sacrifices; both personal and financial, in order to pursue their athletic goals. They comprise approximately 45 percent of our clients and include high school, college, and post-collegiate athletes.
