Touring Athletic Trainer

Athletic Trainers are Your Best Choice for Medical Care on Tour

Athletic Trainers (ATs) 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 productions prepare for an upcoming tour and keep performers healthy during rehearsals.

Your Tour Benefits from the Exceptional Value Provided by Your AT

Your performing arts 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 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 performing arts athletic trainer provides a
value of nearly $1,000 per show and saves your production thousands of dollars.

Choose a Medical Professional who Knows Your Production and Company Members Instead of a New Clinician Every Week

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 cause performers to call out
Understands the demands of each track, leading to better treatment and injury prevention plans
Helps your cast continue to perform 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).

Tour with an athletic trainer to keep your performers on stage, reduce your injury-related costs, and enhance your cast’s performance abilities!

Let's hit the road together!
