Athletic Training

Our certified Athletic Trainers work with area school districts, coaches, parents, physicians, and athletes to provide truly collabrorative care. From Educating players and coaches on how to prevent injuries to developing "return to play" strategies, our athletic trainers keep athletes safe and get them back into the game quickly and safely following injuries protocols. All our athletic trainers are trained in these key areas:

- Injury/illness prevention and wellness protection

- Clinical evaluation and diagnosis of injuries Immediate and emergency care of injuries and illnesses

- Rehabilitation and reconditioning to minimize risk of re-injury and return patients to activity as quickly as possible

- Referral of injured athletes to additional medical professionals when appropriate

- Health care organization and administration

Our Athletic Trainers are assigned to individual schools and work directly with coaches, administration, and parents to provide the best care for the student athletes. Athletic Trainers attend home athletic events as determined by the school’s athletic director.

Our goal is to help athletes safely participate in sports while reducing the risk of injury or re-injury through identifying and addressing minor aches or pains that may develop into more serious issues. By discussing athletes’ previous injuries or pre-existing conditions, certified athletic trainers can prepare for situations that may arise during the season and develop proactive programs for preventing injury. Should an injury occur, early treatment can help speed recovery, prevent more serious problems from occurring and prevent lost practice or playing time.

If an injury occurs on the field or court, the certified athletic trainers immediately respond and perform a thorough evaluation. After an injury, athletic trainers work to ensure athletes receive excellent care and communicate all care plans with parents, coaches, and physicians as appropriate.
