What Towson Sports Medicine does

Towson Sports Medicine is an outpatient orthopaedic and sports medicine clinic founded in 1984 by Dr. Kenneth Gertsen (formerly Baltimore Colts Team Physician) as the first sports center of its kind in Baltimore. The organization operates as a division of Towson Orthopaedic Associates and is a member of the University of Maryland Medical System, delivering services across eight physical locations in the Baltimore/Towson Maryland metropolitan area, including a Bellona Avenue headquarters with an aquatic therapy pool and a partnership site at Loyola Fitness & Aquatic Center.

The service portfolio centers on rehabilitation and sports medicine. Core offerings include physical therapy (modalities such as ice, heat, ultrasound, TENS, and manual therapy), hand therapy by Certified Hand Therapists, aquatic therapy in a warm-temperature pool, certified athletic training, and the SCORE concussion management program. Specialty programs include Knee Injury Risk Reduction, Pediatric Sports Medicine, a Running Center, and TPI-certified golf functional assessments. Add-on programs comprise Self-Pay Gym & Pool sessions, Sports Medicine Club for high school students, and $30 sports physicals. Sports Medicine Team Coverage delivers contracted on-site team physician and athletic trainer services to high schools, colleges, and sports clubs.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: insurance-billed clinical PT and rehabilitation services, contracted team physician and athletic training coverage agreements with schools and athletic programs, and smaller self-pay programs (gym/pool memberships, sports physicals). Patients access services via physician referrals, athletic trainer referrals, self-referral, and direct appointments. Marketing relies on community event sponsorships, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), and an educational YouTube video library. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and the practice is privately held with no venture capital or private equity investment indicated.
