Athletes Treating Athletes

A-T-A is committed to building THE one stop resource for athletes managing their current injuries and working to prevent future ones. This is a growing website composed of trained and licensed health care professionals.

The information on this website is arranged to help bring you through the entire healing process of  an overuse injury by using five different treatment techniques that you can literally do at home on your own using the recovery tools already available to you. They are:

1) Self muscle massage, active muscle/tendon mobilizations, and joint mobilization techniques to restore mobility and decrease muscle spasms/restrictions.
2) Stretching to improve and maintain this new mobility.
3) Kinesiology taping to provide support and neuromuscular feedback to the injured area.
4) Strengthening to restore normal muscle balance and function.
5) Building your very own maintenance routine to monitor and prevent injuries in the first place.
