Course Description:
It's hard to argue against an active lifestyle. Occasionally, however, this way of life can lead to injury. When athletes are taken from their activity, it is a physical and mental challenge to get them back into action. It's our responsibility to take on this challenge, apply our expertise and get the injured athlete back on the field, the court, or trail safely and quickly. This seminar will explore the most common athletic injuries, addressing each step on the road to returning to the playing field. Combining his understanding with his experience teaching patients of all ages on a daily basis and students at the collegiate level, Mike Begg will share his methods for explaining the often overwhelming situation in terms that make sense and take the fear out of the injury event.

Mike has over 20 years of experience as an athletic trainer and physician assistant in sports injury care, from professional to youth league athletes, sideline and clinical rehabilitation, and surgical and non-operative treatment of athletic injuries. Combining his experiences in "on the field" injury evaluation, clinical examination and diagnostics, orthopedic surgical assisting, and directing and developing rehabilitation protocols, Mike will help you develop a practical approach to the injured athlete in your care. Mike's dedication to making: the "complex"... simple, the "impossible"... attainable, the "overwhelming"... understandable, and the "confused"... educated, will be the foundation of each topic presented. His approach will not only be engaging and insightful, but will give you valuable tools for communicating with the injured athletes you encounter.
