Espousing a philosophy based on preventive medicine, the training room works with student-athletes to keep them in playing shape, return them to competition and maintain their level of conditioning throughout the year.

Student-athletes receive medical treatment from an experienced staff of certified athletic trainers. Four certified athletic trainers and a staff of student athletic trainers provide on-site medical care before, during and after all practices and games. Three team physicians, including an orthopedic surgeon, a dentist and an eye care professional, are also available throughout the year.

The training room is fully equipped with the modern apparatus required for treatment and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries, including three whirlpools, electrical muscle stimulation units, ultrasound machines and a compression unit. Additional conditioning and rehabilitation are available through the use of exercise bikes, a treadmill, an Orthotron machine for lower body, a Cybex upper body exercise machine and a Stairmaster.
