Huffines Institute 311: PT & ATC The Sports Med Breakdown (Part 1)

Welcome back to our latest episode of We Do the Heavy Lifting!Today we speak with Dr. David Regan Suarez, a physical therapist, and Saul Luna, an athletic trainer. Both are part of the excellent sports medicine staff here at Texas A&M. During the episode, David and Saul address the differences between physical therapists and athletic trainers, sharing the pros and cons of each. In this initial episode, both practitioners share practical advice for students interested in the field of sports medicine and human performance. This episode is just part 1 of a 2-part series, where part two focuses on more nuanced topics such as the process of returning an athlete to sport and the psychology of injury.
