CERTIFIED ATHLETE TRAINING
Athlete Trainer Vs. Athletic Trainer
First and most importantly, we do not diagnosis or treat any medical conditions. We are required by law to make a distinction between Athlete Training and Athletic Training. To be transparent, we are Athlete Trainers which means we train athletes, and we are NOT Athletic Trainers which should be called physical therapists or rehabilitation specialists.
Athletic Trainers treat medical conditions after injury of, not before like we do. Our focus is centered in injury prevention. Athletic Trainers are also known as sick care, but most commonly called "Healthcare". Athletic trainers train to help you heal from injury. We aim to prevent you from ever receiving injury, even though not guaranteed and ultimately avoiding the "Athletic Trainer" all together.
We also aim to look after your health as we are focused on improving your health, not the opposite. This should be the meaning of healthcare but unfortunately, it's not. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way....
We are Athlete Trainers Not Athletic Trainers.
