Once again, the Thera-Band® Academy supported the 25th annual Southeastern Athletic Trainers Association (SEATA) Athletic Training Student Symposium as a Workshop Partner. Director of the Thera-Band Academy Dr. Phil Page said, “I attended one of the first SEATA Student Symposia in Birmingham, Alabama and it made a huge impression on me. I’m glad to be in a position now where I can give back to my profession where it counts the most: the students.”

This year’s meeting had just over 700 students from nine of the 10 NATA districts across the United States attending the symposium.  The athletic training students represented 62 athletic training education programs (ATEPs) from 34 states.

Thera-Band resistance bands and exercise balls were utilized in a 90-minute “Core Stability Training Laboratory” session.  Led by Craig Elder, PhD, ATC, CSCS from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and also 20+ laboratory instructional faculty, the session was attended by 200+ athletic training students.

Dr. Ray Castle of LSU, who coordinated the Foundations in Athletic Training sessions stated, “We are very grateful for the continual support that the Hygenic Corporation provides for the SEATA Athletic Training Student Symposium as a Workshop Partner.  You can find Thera-Band products in every physical rehabilitation setting, and as such we feel the core stability training session for our Track “A” (1st year athletic training students) is a very important session in the development of future certified athletic trainers.”
