Understanding the Benefits of Athletic Training

What is Athletic Training?

Recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA), athletic training includes injury prevention, wellness protection, clinical evaluation, diagnosis, emergency care, treatment, and rehabilitation of acute and chronic medical conditions, including impairment, functional limitations and disabilities. An athletic trainer is an integral member of a client’s health care team, helping both athletes and clients alike prevent injury and re-injury.

Why Use Athletic Trainers?

Athletic trainers are able to reduce the risk of injury and shorten rehabilitation time for our clients, providing an unparalleled continuum of care. Athletic trainers are beneficial to all types of athletes, because they can help educate all clients on the best practices to reduce the risk of injury.
