Rehabilitation
Walker Sports Medicine takes pride in its ability to design and implement comprehensive rehabilitation plans for athletes with sport related injuries. Walker’s Athletic Trainers work in conjunction with physicians and/or physical therapists to provide a unique opportunity for injured athletes to complete rehabilitation programs on campus, under the supervision of a professional. The training room is equipped with all of the essential rehabilitation tools including a whirlpool, ultrasound, Game Ready unit, electrical stimulation unit and hydroculator for moist heat. -
Student Trainer Program
The Walker School has a Student Athletic Trainer Program, which is open to all interested students. This program is geared towards students who want to pursue a career in Sports Medicine or any related medical field. It is also ideal for students who just want to be involved in athletics but do not participate in a sport during a particular season. Student Trainers are taught basic first aid and taping techniques. They also assist the Head Athletic Trainer with injury rehabilitation. Students can participate in the program during the fall and spring athletic seasons. A varsity letter is awarded at the end of each season to Student Trainers who successfully participate throughout the entire season.
