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

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.
