All student-athletes are expected to sign in the
treatment log (name and sport) prior to receiving any treatment, tape, etc.
The injured student-athlete is expected to come to the
training room daily for treatment consisting of various modalities and
exercises. Treatments and rehabilitation exercises are to be continued until
the student-athlete has been instructed to discontinue them.
Treatments should not infringe on practice time.
Injured athletes may be treated during practice times if they are not
participating.
Student-athletes receiving extended or daily
treatments are expected to set up treatment times with a certified athletic
trainer. Student-athletes may be expected to receive treatment 2-3 times a day
in order to return to competition as quickly and safely as possible. Those who
miss scheduled appointments may not receive treatment.
The training room operates on a "first come,
first served" basis. The only exception is to those student-athletes who
have games.
In-season student-athletes have priority to treatment.
Coaches will be informed of their
student-athlete’s condition and are encouraged to call or visit the
training room with any questions. Coaches are also requested to reinforce the
need for student-athletes to attend treatment sessions.
