Prevention, acute injury treatment, rehabilitation, concussion recovery, and performance enhancement are all ways that athletic training can help local athletes do what they love safely.
Athletic Training encompasses the prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of emergent, acute, or chronic injuries and medical conditions.
Athletic Trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventive services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
