Athletic Training Services

Whether you’re a school athletic director, private sports club president or 10K race organizer, there’s nothing more important than the safety of your athletes. By working to reduce injuries, you can help instill confidence in participants and their families. That means happier, healthier athletes.

Providence athletic trainers have specialized training and expertise to help with the prevention, diagnosis and rehabilitation of athletic injuries, including emergency care situations.

School Athletics

Providence currently covers more than 24 Oregon high schools with full-time athletic trainers for a broad range of sports programs. In addition to immediate on-site care for practices and games, athletic trainers hold regular training room hours at their schools to assist injured athletes and help them get back to full participation.

Athletic trainers help parents and athletes manage injuries through education and follow-up recommendations. They also help coordinate treatments with other medical providers, depending on the needs of the athlete.
