Expanded Care

Memphis Athletics has a physical therapist, chiropractor on campus for its student-athletes.

It's amazing what relationships can lead to: new friendships, more connections and ingenious ideas. That's what led to the birth of the new on-campus clinic for University of Memphis student-athletes.

The on-campus clinic opened at the beginning of October, but it took a while – try 15 years – for the idea to be realized. And it all came about when a relationship began between Monica Baker and former Tigers head athletic trainer, the late Eddie Cantler.
