Athletic Trainers Thrive on Tour

Athletic Trainers are Your Best Choice for Medical Care on Tour and Off

Trained in immediate injury response and assessment and experienced with advanced rehabilitation exercises and activities, athletic trainers (ATs) are expert medical professionals who care for their patients from the instant of injury and beyond the patient's return to full activity.  They specialize in creative problem solving to help individuals stay as active as possible while combatting an injury.  ATs are accustomed to helping performers understand the risks of performing while injured, are highly adaptive in unpredictable situations, and are well-trained for responding to emergencies.

ATs are distinctively adept at identifying and mitigating injury risk factors.  These injury prevention measures can help musical artists build resilience for an upcoming tour and keep them healthy in between tours.

Say Goodbye to Cancelled Shows and Reduce Your
​Injury-Related Costs

​Your arts & entertainment athletic trainer is an expert licensed medical professional who:
  • Provides injury assessment and treatment for your stage performers and support staff
  • Reduces the number of time-loss injuries suffered by your tour personnel
  • Decreases the amount of recovery time needed following an injury
  • Identifies injury risks inherent in the show's occupational demands and creates exercise programs to lower these risks
  • Decreases the number of worker’s compensation claims made
  • Lowers the costs associated with worker’s compensation claims
  • Provides body maintenance treatments and conditioning programs that enhance performer aesthetics, ability, and movement mechanics
  • Enhances your tour's incident response preparedness

Enjoy Traveling with Your Own Therapy Equipment and Injury Care Supplies

Along with your AT’s considerable knowledge and skills, your tour also benefits from a substantial collection of therapeutic equipment and first aid supplies, including:
  • Treatment table (also called a “massage table”)
  • Manual therapy cupping set
  • Trigger point self-treatment tools
  • Myofascial self-treatment tools (like foam rollers)
  • Resistance bands
  • Athletic tape and supplies
  • Blister prevention and care
  • First aid supplies
  • Acute injury and emergency response supplies


Touring with your own experienced arts & entertainment athletic trainer provides a value over $3,500 per week and saves your tour thousands of dollars.


Choose a Medical Professional who Knows You and is Equipped to Keep Your Tour Running

​Touring with your own AT substantially improves the efficiency, consistency, and effectiveness of the injury care your company members receive.  Your touring athletic trainer:
  • Provides immediate, attentive, and consistent injury care for a faster return to full performance
  • Prevents minor musculoskeletal issues from developing into significant injuries that require time off
  • Understands the demands each artist and crew member faces, leading to better treatment and injury prevention plans
  • Helps everyone on your tour continue to work safely while recovering from minor musculoskeletal issues

​With an AT on tour, you no longer have to coordinate visits from local physical therapists or schedule as many physician appointments in every city!​

Integrate Your Athletic Trainer into Your Tour Plans with Ease

​Your touring athletic trainer and therapy equipment assimilate seamlessly into your existing tour logistics.

Simply:
  • Add one person to your travel arrangements
  • Allocate a small space on your truck for the athletic training equipment and portable treatment table
  • Designate a dressing room or other space at each venue for a treatment area

Adjusting your budget is easy, too.  You can tour with your own athletic trainer for just a contract fee, per diem payments, and a small petty cash allotment (for buying disposable items like bandaids and cleaning supplies while on the road).
