Johnson State Athletic Training
The athletic training program at JSC provides comprehensive medical care for all student-athletes. The staff offers immediate emergency care, evaluation of injuries, referrals, and treatment and reconditioning of injuries utilizing therapeutic modalities and exercise techniques; such as taping and bracing, health screenings, movement assessments, nutrition, drug, alcohol, and strength and conditioning guidance. An athletic trainer is available at all practices and contests to provide immediate care for an injured student-athlete.
The philosophy of the JSC athletic training staff is to return a student-athlete to competition as quickly as possible without jeopardizing the student-athlete’s health or welfare. The same quality care and treatment is given to all student-athletes regardless of team status or participation level. We believe that it is important to educate the student-athlete about his or her injury to assist in the rehabilitation and recovery process and to prevent recurrence of the injury.
The athletic training staff works closely with orthopaedic surgeons, the Campus Health Center, Counseling Center, and all relevant medical professionals to assure that each athlete is getting the best possible care.
