South Lake Hospital recently issued the following announcement.
Why use an athletic trainer when working out? They are trained to treat injuries on the spot. An athletic trainer has the experience and training to recognize and appropriately manage injuries right after they happen. Trainers also deal with sports-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Their top priority in these situations is to determine the severity of the injury and decide whether the patient needs immediate attention.
