Band Together 2020
Derrick Rowland and Dr. Tim Maggs have been community-oriented members for over 35 years. They have both given unconditionally to many in the Capital District and will continue doing so with their Band Together 2020 Program.
Our Mission
- To assist community members as well as all those in law enforcement to open and improve lines of communication productively in an effort to bring unity to the community.
- To identify those in the community who are in need of help and work to find community members who can help.
- To provide programs for kids to help guide them on the best path life has to offer.
- To lead by example, not just words, and be part of the solution, not contributors to the problem.

Dr. Tim Maggs
Dr. Tim Maggs has been in private practice for over 41 years. He has specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries throughout his entire career. Dr. Maggs has been an active participant in sports as well, having run 16 marathons, spending many hours on his mountain bike, playing basketball and extensively working with athletes. His wife, Trudy, and four sons, John, Connor, Tim jr., and Tom, are all actively involved in fitness and a healthy lifestyle. In fact, they just completed the 2020 Barr Trail 20k race on July 28th, a 6.2 mile race up Pikes Peak and 6.2 mile run down. This now qualifies all of them to compete in the 2021 Pikes Peak Marathon next August.
In 1994 while working with the New York Giants, Dr. Maggs recognized the absence of biomechanical evaluation and treatment, and started his Structural Management® Program, which today is the most comprehensive and available sports biomechanics program nationally.
In 2004, Dr. Maggs recognized the need for improved diagnosis and treatment of sports related injuries in the middle and high school age group. It was at this time he developed the Concerned Parents of Young Athletes™ Program. Dr. Maggs' goal is to have all middle and high school athletes go through not only the standard medical exam at the start of each season, but also a biomechanical exam. This would look at the musculoskeletal system, in detail, and allow these young athletes to begin correcting imbalances, weaknesses and biomechanical faults long before they become injuries that create disability and premature degeneration. Today, Dr. Maggs works with athletes from more than 25 high schools, and is the Director of Sports Biomechanics at Christian Brothers Academy in Albany, New York.
Dr. Maggs launched his Structural Management® Certification Program in January 2019 which trains and certifies other Drs. to become experienced in sports biomechanics. He travels the country teaching his techniques to other doctors in the profession with hopes to help more people have a higher quality of life and combat the opioid epidemic.
In July, 2019, Dr. Maggs became the proud owner of the Albany Patroons basketball team and is looking forward to an exciting season with them. He is introducing his Structural Management® Program to all teams in the league as it will provide the necessary biomechanical information for each player to prevent and treat injuries more effectively this season and for many more to come.
Above all, the most important thing to Dr. Maggs is his wife Trudy and 4 sons. They are very much a part of his everyday life.
