Our onsite athletic trainers help South Georgia athletes stay in the game. Each of our trainers works under the direction of (or in collaboration with) a physician to ensure your personalized treatment plan includes the best recovery methods for your specific needs.
Some of the duties of our athletic trainers include:
Assisting and monitoring injured athletes as they heal and progress toward recovery
Creating health and nutrition plans
Designing training and rehabilitation programs for athletes
Maintaining records in relation to the athlete’s condition, training, diet, treatment plan, and recovery process
Setting health and fitness goals for athletes

In addition, athletic trainers and other sports medicine professionals can provide primary care, injury and illness prevention methods, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and other medical conditions. Each member of our sports medicine team is trained to recognize general medical conditions, injuries, and illnesses, meaning we can address your situation at the source and create a targeted plan toward pain relief and accelerated healing.
Athletic trainers provide onsite medical coverage for practices and games, which allows athletes immediate access to care for all types of injuries sustained during their sport. After sustaining your injury, our sports medicine professionals will assist you in the following ways:
Applying protective or injury-preventive devices, such as tape, bandages, and braces
Recognizing and evaluating injuries
Providing first aid or emergency care
Developing and carrying out rehabilitation programs
Planning and implementing comprehensive programs to prevent future injury and illness
