Performing Ensembles Thrive with Athletic Trainers

Athletic Trainers are Your Best Choice for On-Site Medical Care

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 to 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​.

Your Company Benefits from the Exceptional Value Provided by Your AT

​Your arts & entertainment athletic trainer is an expert licensed medical professional who:
  • Provides injury assessment and treatment for your performers and staff
  • Reduces the number of time-loss injuries suffered by your company
  • Decreases the amount of recovery time needed following an injury
  • Identifies injury risks inherent in each performance track 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 company's incident response preparedness

Enjoy Having Therapy Equipment and Injury Care Supplies On-Site

Along with your AT’s considerable knowledge and skills, your company members also benefit 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


Your arts & entertainment athletic trainer provides hands-on injury care services worth
​over $20,000 per week and can save you thousands of dollars this season.


Choose a Medical Professional Equipped to Meet Your Full Spectrum of On-Site Injury Care Needs

Utilizing your own on-site AT substantially improves the efficiency, consistency, and effectiveness of the injury care your cast/company members, crew, and staff receive.  Your 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 from rehearsals or performances
  • Understands the demands of each performance track, leading to better treatment decisions and injury prevention plans
  • Helps your company members continue to perform safely while recovering from minor musculoskeletal issues
  • Cares for your injured performers from the moment an injury occurs until the performers complete their advanced activity-specific rehabilitation program and return to the stage
                                                                                          
Off-site, volunteer, or community medical professionals may not be up-to-date on the latest advancements in arts & entertainment healthcare, often do not provide emergency medical coverage or acute injury care for entertainers, and frequently do not understand the physical and psychological nature of working in live entertainment.
 
With your own AT working on-site at your rehearsal studios, you no longer risk having your performers receive inconsistent, non-specific care that is uninformed about the physical, mental, and emotional demands your performers are facing.

Integrate Your Athletic Trainer Easily!

Your on-site athletic trainer and therapy equipment assimilate seamlessly into your company and facilities, requiring only a private treatment and rehabilitation space with secure storage for your therapy supplies.  Don’t have a dedicated medical care space?  Don’t worry!  Many Arts & Entertainment Athletic Training Facilities are former dressing rooms, small studios, large storage rooms, or costume/set-building workspaces.

Talk to our friends at Behind the Scenes Medical Consulting for guidance while updating or converting your existing facilities or designing a new performance medicine facility.

Augment your company’s staff with an athletic trainer to keep your performers on stage, reduce your injury-related costs, and boost your company's performance abilities!
