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

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

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

I believe it is not a top priority to consistently attend mentorship but working on my project frequently is a key due to the research required to learn about different injuries that relate to my topic. Over break I got caught up on my RC notes. I did not go to southlands over break because there was no school and no sports had practice, so i learned more about different injuries.

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

I learned more about different types of injuries on and off the field, its useful to help diagnose and treat different injuries that I might encounter. I pulled this information from my mentor's Athletic Training book.

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I would talk to the athletic trainer at Bassett High School or Mt. Sac due the their vast amounts of experience in their fields of work.
