Athletic Training Services

In addition to providing medical coverage at athletic events and working in conjunction with physical therapists in our clinical settings, MORE Physical Therapy, Inc.’s team of professional certified athletic trainers (ATC’s) offers injury prevention education, and athletic performance enhancement in a variety of athletic settings.

• Pre-game injury prevention
Our ATC’s work in high school training rooms throughout the Bay Area to provide strength and flexibility programs for injury prevention. They offer consultations for acute and chronic problems, preventative/supportive taping and bracing, as well as nutrition and weight training counseling to keep the athletes in peak condition.

• On-field injury assessment and emergency care
Our NATA certified athletic trainers are highly skilled professionals trained to provide on-site emergency care for injured athletes at sporting events.  In addition, ATC’s are available at many of our locations for complementary injury evaluations.

• Specialist Referral
When appropriate, our ATC’s refer athletes to physicians or our physical therapy staff for further evaluation and treatment.  This direct line of care from the athletic field to the physician and/or clinic provides for a safe and rapid return to competition.

• High School Sports Physicals
MORE Physical Therapy, Inc. provides on-site pre-participation musculo-skeletal evaluations that include a comprehensive orthopedic exam as well as vision, and heart/lung screenings.  Suggestions are given to the athletes during the evaluation for any variance that is found (e.g. strength deficits, inflexibility, posture, etc.)  Referral to the appropriate healthcare provider for further evaluation is made as needed.

MORE’s ATC’s have provided athletic training services at a variety of athletic competitions such as high school sporting events, the USTA Women’s Jr. National Tennis Tournament, SCU Rugby and Lacrosse, San Jose CyberRays professional soccer, San Jose Storm professional volleyball, and a variety of club gymnastics competitions.  Individually, our ATC’s have worked for the USA Track and Field team at the PanAm games, the Olympics, and the East/West Shrine Football Classic.
