Dedication to Sports Medicine and Athletic Training services comprises the core of our Sports Medicine Outreach Program. For over a decade, Clemson Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation has actively served the community by employing Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC) to perform outreach duties at local high schools and secondary institutions.
         
Highly trained in the assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of sports-related injuries, these professionals provide a variety of services to athletic programs. Acting as a liaison between the athlete, physicians, physical therapists, coaches, school personnel, and parents, the athletic trainer provides emergency first responder care during athletic practices and events as well as recommendations to coaches and school administrators regarding injury prevention and treatment. Our Athletic Trainers also conduct pre-participation physicals, orthopedic and sports injury assessment and rehabilitation, patient counseling and injury prevention education, physical conditioning and nutritional education, and pre-game preparation. Upon completing the evaluation of an injured athlete, the Athletic Trainer may refer the athlete to a physician for further assessment or may choose to initiate a plan of care and protocol for rehabilitation.
         
 
         
Some of our practicing physical therapists also have certification in athletic training which enhances their knowledge of sports medicine and appropriate assessment and treatment techniques. To earn Athletic Training Certification, the formal education requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, with an emphasis in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, psychology, and nutrition. In addition to this curriculum, 1500 hours of practical experience must be logged under the direct on-site supervision of a Certified Athletic Trainer or physician to develop skills in taping, padding, equipment fitting, emergency care, CPR, injury evaluation, and rehabilitation techniques. Clemson Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation strives to provide the best possible health care to student athletes which entails not only attending to their needs following an injury, but ensuring their safety while enhancing their athletic abilities to excel in their performance. By adopting this team approach to sports medicine, we believe we can more effectively serve the community while promoting the profession of athletic training as an allied health field and an integral part of interscholastic athletics.
