GREENFIELD — Baystate Franklin Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Department is offering free monthly sports injury screenings at the YMCA of Greenfield, 451 Main St., starting Tuesday, Oct. 18.

The screenings are open to the public, and participants do not have to be YMCA members.

“If you have some sort of injury that is either ongoing, such as tendinitis, or something that has just occurred, and you’re not sure how to treat it or where to seek help, this clinic is for you,” said Jeff King, manager of Baystate Rehabilitation Services at Baystate Franklin Medical Center. “ We will assess your injury and advise you of the next steps to take to treat the injury.”
