Athletic Trainers are Your Best Choice for Medical Care in a College or University Program
Athletic Trainers (ATs) are leaders and experts in university physical medicine.  ATs collaborate with multiple university departments and community medical professionals to maximize the benefit to the students under the AT’s care.  ATs adjust their student-patients’ treatment schedules based on academic demands and participate in student educational programming and student life events.

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.

Your Students will Love 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 students, faculty, and staff
  • Reduces the number of time-loss injuries suffered by your students
  • Decreases the amount of recovery time needed following an injury
  • Identifies injury risks inherent in rehearsal and performance and creates exercise programs to lower these risks
  • Provides body maintenance treatments and conditioning programs that enhance performer aesthetics, ability, and movement mechanics
  • Enhances your incident response preparedness
 
Our on-site athletic trainers can help university performing arts programs boost their student recruitment, retention, progression, and graduation numbers while decreasing the number of students who leave the program and abandon their professional dreams due to significant pain or injury.
Having an experienced performing arts athletic trainer in your facility helps your program progress and graduate healthy students on time and saves your students from experiencing unnecessary pain, missing rehearsals or performances due to injury, or spending up to several thousand dollars on medical office visits following an injury.

Ensure Your Students Receive Consistent Care from an Experienced and Knowledgeable Performing Arts Medicine Professional
​​Utilizing your own on-site AT substantially improves the efficiency, consistency, and effectiveness of the injury care your students receive.  Your athletic trainer:
  • Helps your students continue to perform safely while recovering from minor musculoskeletal issues.  This helps them continue to progress through their degree program and graduate on time.
  • Prevents minor musculoskeletal issues from developing into significant injuries that require time off from rehearsals or performances
  • Provides immediate, attentive, and consistent injury care for a faster return to full performance
  • Understands the demands each student faces, leading to better treatment and injury prevention plans

Off-site, volunteer, or community medical professionals may not be up-to-date on the latest advancements in performing arts healthcare, often do not provide emergency medical coverage or acute injury care for performers, and frequently do not understand the physical and psychological nature of the performing arts.

With your own AT working within your department, you significantly reduce your risk of having your performers receive inconsistent, non-specific care that is uninformed about the physical, mental, and emotional demands your performers are facing.
Utilize an on-site athletic trainer to reduce the number and severity of student injuries; improve your student recruitment, retention, and progression; and help you produce graduates prepared for any occupational wellness issues they may face as professional performers and arts educators.
