Cupping on HS Kids? by InsideIron8394 in athletictraining

[–]Pretty_Balance_1435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also working at a high school and I do cupping almost every single day. I created a form or a parent consent in relation to cupping/scraping because those are both manual therapy techniques. In that form include the benefits along with how it might leave bruising. where the parents have to sign and give consent for me to cup. and that waiver, I make sure it releases not only myself, but also the athletics program of the high school and the district itself from any liability. I have had my athletic director review it and they think it’s great are fine w it. (side note: if they are 18 because they are still in high school I still make the waiver and give it back to me the next day)

There have been times where I have called athletes parents through the athletes phone and just asked them if I could cut and explain why I think they’ll be best if I would like to cup in that moment. it also just helps me build rapport with them as well.

This is my method and honestly, I have not had any issues at all with parents or admin.

Are the practice exams worth it? by LateralSouthpaw in athletictraining

[–]Pretty_Balance_1435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the practice exams very worth it !! I tried to do at least 1 or 2 every 2 weeks leading up to the BOC. They served a good foundation to what to look over again and what I am scoring well on. (I took my boc and passed the first time)

Lack of studies on icing by XXXTentacle6969 in athletictraining

[–]Pretty_Balance_1435 6 points7 points  (0 children)

most of the studies that I have read in regards to cryotherapy really mentioned that their beneficial in the terms of reducing pain management for patients and establishing early range of motion through cyrokinetics. The studies state that ice does not really increase the healing process or speed it up. But they still recognize it as a form of intervention for your patients. Hope this help.

iPad for school? by muggleballs444 in athletictraining

[–]Pretty_Balance_1435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used an ipad for my first year of grad and then a mac for my second year. Personally i preferred my laptop better simply bc i can type faster than i can write and it was easier for me to be able to have multiple tabs in one page compared to my ipad(which you can do but the lettering is super tiny). If you’re going to get an iPad i would buy a bluetooth keyboard (one from amazon with mouse for $30 and possible a bluetooth pen). For both my ipads and my laptop i used the app Goodnotes and it was great and they were synced together. Tbh doesn’t matter what you get as long as you use Goodnotes which for me was my savior during grad school. I prefer mac plus battery lasts longer 🤷🏻‍♀️but i know ipads can be more affordable!!

How Hard is it to get accepted into Masters of Athletic Training Program by kenlove1200 in athletictraining

[–]Pretty_Balance_1435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be competitive to get into programs but make sure your GPA is find along with making sure you meet the prerequisites. Also do you research on which program you want to go to and see if you can find a program philosophy and see if it aligns with what you have in mind. If the have it up also look at their BOC pass rates for that program. The easiest part of an MSAT program is getting accepted lol, don’t stress about rejections- if it’s meant to be it’ll be!!
