Athletic Training

As people become more active in sports, recreation, and physically demanding jobs, the risk of injury naturally rises. That’s when a licensed athletic trainer can play a vital role. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association, and athletic trainers are specialize in the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to physical activity. By identifying issues early trainers can reduce downtime, help you avoid unnecessary medical visits, and keep you moving safely. Athletic training supports active individuals at any age by focusing on five key areas:

• Injury prevention
• Clinical evaluation and diagnosis
• Immediate and emergency care
• Treatment and rehabilitation
• Health care organization and professional well-being

Working under the guidance of a licensed physician, athletic trainers collaborate with coaches, administrators, parents, and other healthcare providers to deliver personalized, effective care.

Athletic trainers are also highly trained in concussion evaluation and management. They are often the first to recognize symptoms, help with post-injury care, and coordinate safe return to play decisions with medical professionals.

A typical day for a licensed athletic trainer in a school or athletic program may include:

• Preparing athletes for practice with taping, bracing, and injury-prevention techniques
• Evaluating injuries and determining appropriate care or referral
• Designing conditioning and performance programs
• Implementing individualized treatment and rehabilitation plans
• With their comprehensive expertise, licensed athletic trainers help keep communities active, healthy, and performing at their best.
