Our Athletic Trainers
Athletic trainers are licensed healthcare professionals who work under the supervision of a physician. Dr. Rob Amrine, MBJ primary care sports medicine physician, is very involved with our athletes and can often be seen on the sidelines working with our athletic trainers.
When an athlete is injured, the athletic trainer is there to assess the injury and expedite the athlete’s referral to the appropriate healthcare professional. Our athletic trainers also work as physician extenders in the clinic. They assist the physicians with home exercise program education and instruction, pre- and post-op education, and crutch/gait training.
