Frequently Asked Questions
-
No! Athletic Trainers are NOT personal or fitness trainers. We are healthcare professionals that evaluate, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate orthopedic injuries. While exercise programming is in our wheelhouse, my goal is to help find and eliminate ailments and imbalances holding you back from becoming the best athlete you can be!
-
A certified athletic trainer is NOT a fitness coach or personal trainer. A board-certified Athletic Trainer is a healthcare professional who is educated, trained and assessed in five major domains:
・Injury and illness and wellness promotion
・ Examination, assessment and diagnosis of athletic injuries
・ Immediate and emergency care
・ Therapeutic intervention
・ Healthcare administration and professional responsibility

A Corrective Exercise Specialist is an expert in human movement who analyzes a client's movement pattern, identifies overactive or underactive muscle groups and compensations, and implements strategies and exercises to reeducate muscle movement.
-
Short answer: No.
Long answer: The healthcare system has long since forgotten the importance of personalization of a patient’s care. By choosing not to accept insurance, we are instead allowing each athlete to have the in-depth, individualized and unlimited care they deserve that can be tailored to work best with their schedules and lives, rather than accommodating the restrictions applied by insurance.

This is your first assessment that is about 90 minutes. It will be an in-depth orthopedic evaluation including gait and posture assessment, and possible injury evaluation. We'll discuss any imbalances or compensations noted in the assessment, any aches and pains you may suffer from that are affecting your athletic ability and go over any personal goals you may have. We'll then dive straight into your first treatment session! Afterwards, we'll discuss future treatment plan packages and scheduling.
