Athletic Training & Sports Performance

UHS Sports Medicine understands your need for convenient and timely access to care; whenever possible we will be there when you get injured. Our New York Athletic Trainers, Sports Medicine Specialists, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Performance Coaches can be found on site at area colleges, high schools, sporting events, and community facilities. We cover local, professional, and club sports. Having UHS sports medicine staff on site allows for immediate evaluation and treatment of injuries. When appropriate, expedited access to the entirety of the UHS system is available.

Our New York Athletic Trainers are health care professionals specializing in prevention, recognition, management and rehabilitation of injuries resulting from physical activity.  Athletic Trainers offer an unparalleled continuum of care and are a strong part of the UHS Sports Medicine team. Our Athletic Trainers practice under the direction of a licensed physician and in collaboration with other health care professionals, athletic administrators, coaches and parents.   Many Sports Medicine Athletic Trainers with UHS have a Master’s Degree or additional qualifications in exercise related fields, ensuring optimal care for individuals who are physically active or involved in sport participation through all stages of life. Our Athletic Trainers are involved with providing coverage for athletic events, assisting is physician clinics and physical therapy clinics, as well as coordinating patient care as part of our outreach in the community. 

In the Physician's Office

Many of our athletic trainers serve as physician extenders in our clinics as well.  They demonstrate the same triage, injury evaluation and decision-making skills that so valuable on the sidelines, in the clinic setting.  Our athletic trainers take patient histories, fit patients for braces, assist with casting, offer education and more.  They help to expedite coordination of care for our athletes in high schools, colleges, professional sports and community events.

UHS Sports Medicine has a strong presence in area high schools and in the community. Our New York Athletic Trainers and strength coaches educate athletes on the safe execution of workouts carefully designed to improve performance and decrease injuries. UHS Sports Performance coaches work to get the most out of each athlete, whether it be preventing injury, returning to action after an injury, reaching peak performance on the field, or at work. Our coaches are also available for individual or group classes.

UHS Bridge Program

The UHS Bridge Program uses a multifaceted approach to regaining pre-injury wellness. Designed for clients and patients, regardless of injury, who have maximized their benefit from Physical Therapy or Chiropractic Care, and are looking to BRIDGE the gap and return to the higher demands of occupational, recreational, or performance-based activities. Learn more about the UHS Bridge Program under Services We Offer here.

Performance Classes

UHS Sports Performance strives to enhance the fitness and well-being of the surrounding community through specialized performance classes that follow our core principles. Classes are trained on or off-site, depending on the needs of the individual or group. 

The pre-participation physical is an essential component of the care provided to athletes. New York State requires a new physical exam every 12 months for sports participation.

It can be a challenge maintaining compliance with state requirements for annual physicals. Given the size and integration of UHS Sports Medicine, we are able to offer our schools a comprehensive “Physicals Day” bringing all of our Providers, Athletic Trainers, Nurses, Performance Coaches and Administrators in to your school. Our team will complete superior quality pre-participation physicals for all athletes in a fraction of the time.

You can download the pre-participation health history form here to fill it out prior to your physical.

Athletic Training Partnerships

On the Sideline

Our Athletic Trainers are contracted with local high schools, colleges, professional teams, as well as community facilities.  Our athletic trainer administers on-site evaluation, injury prevention programming and management and treatment of acute, subacute and chronic injuries and/or conditions in an effort to restore function.  They are ready to evaluate and are usually the first to triage an injury, being highly trained to make the right diagnosis and decisions quickly.  Our athletic trainers are heavily relied on for everything from injury and illness prevention and assessment to emergency care, first aid, and concussion testing to return-to-play decisions.  Our athletic trainers coordinate and communicate with team physician’s, athlete’s primary care provider, physician specialists and the coaching staff. Our athletic trainers coordinate sports physicals for teams, schools, and groups where we have established affiliations.
