Sports Medicine & Athletic Training

Sports Medicine professionals aide athletes of all ages when they suffer an injury doing any type of physical activity. The goal is to get the patient back in action as quickly and safely as possible to help people recover from injuries. Certified athletic trainers: provide rehabilitative programs to help athletes regain strength and prevent future injury.

Athletic trainers improve functional outcomes and specialize in patient education to prevent injury and re-injury. Preventative care provided by an athletic trainer has a positive return on investment for patients and/or  employers. ATs are able to reduce injury and shorten rehabilitation time for their patients, which translates to lower absenteeism from work or school and reduced health care costs.
