Center for Human Athleticism and Musculoskeletal Performance and Prevention (CHAMPP)

The goal of UR Medicine for this vibrant community is to make Rochester the healthiest community on America.  Utilizing our expertise in research, data science and analytics, patient outcomes, and world-class care, we've developed a program for athletes and health-minded people to reach their highest level of physical and mental performance, while preventing injury.  At the Center for Human Athleticism and Musculoskeletal Performance and Prevention (CHAMPP), we provide people of all fitness levels - whether a serious athlete, fitness hobbyist, performer such as dancer, stage actor or stage musician, or someone who works in physically demanding vocations - the best care and training to allow them to be at their peak fitness level before, during, and after any activity.

What is CHAMPP?

CHAMPP is a new approach to health, wellness, and personal performance that harnesses research, data science, and clinical expertise from several disciplines to help athletes and physically active people have the physical ability to reach their goals and lead their best and fullest lives.  Our vision is to lead people with the best research, technology, and evidence-based practices to prevent injuries and help them achieve their highest level of personal performance regardless of their desired activity or health status.  CHAMPP is a world-class "hub" facility that will be integrated within the future Musculoskeletal Institute (MSKI) that includes space for training, locker rooms, classrooms/education, and clinical research.
