Every March, PT360 likes to recognize all the hard-working athletic trainers who are a part of our cooperative and all of the athletic trainers within our community. To celebrate National Athletic Trainers Month, the National Athletic Trainers' Association creates a theme - this year’s theme is, Athletic…

Athletic Trainers.    What a great profession with so much behind the title!  In fact, Athletic Trainers hate it when we are referred to as simply “trainers” because that title doesn’t include the majority of what we do, for both the team and for the athlete themselves.  As the title does imply, we…
