Blog 17: Answer 3

What is the best way an athletic trainer can treat an injury?


An athletic trainer can best treat an injury through rehabilitation exercises 

  • rehabilitation exercises strengthen muscles of certain areas where injuries have occurred
  • Aids in dealing with nagging injuries and restores the injured area to pre-injury condition
  • In the case of surgery, rehab allows the injury to heal in the correct manner

Prentice, William. "Arnheim's Principles of Athletic Training: A Competency-Based Approach." McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages; 13 edition. January 18, 2008. Print.

although you can not predict injuries, you can lessen the severity of an injury through prehabilitation exercises.
