2002 MONTANA FOOTBALL 100 RhSnehart Athletic Training Center

The Rhinehart Athletic Training Center, which boasts 7,200 square feet of space and includes an enlarged rehabilitation area, was remodeled in 1999. Also in­ cluded are athletic trainers’ offices, six hydrotherapy units and a consulting office where nutritionists and doctors can meet with athletes. There are also classrooms for the athletic training curriculum. The RATC provides numerous ways to treat injuries; electrical stimulation units, whirlpools, free weights and balance boards. The primary goal of the athletic training staff is to provide quality care for student-athletes while helping them safely return to competition. When a student-athlete is injured, an athletic trainer evaluates the severity of the injury and renders whatever care is needed. Depending on the extent of the injury, the student-athlete visits the center daily, at least two to three times, for treatment and rehabilitation exercises. The athletic training staff works together with the Athletic Performance staff to monitor the student-athlete's strengthening exercises. Once the student-athletes have regained strength and function, they are allowed to return to the playing field or court. Although athletic trainers provide injury care, they also promote injury prevention. Preventative maintenance occurs in the form of injury-screening processes, flexibility, taping and strengthening exercises. Montana has a well-established athletic training curriculum which allows students to work directly with the student-athletes.
