Athletic Training
Athletic trainers play a vital role in athlete health, performance, and recovery. Chattanooga® proudly supports the profession by focusing on education, access, and long-term partnership—not just equipment.

Our commitment to athletic trainers includes:
- BOC-approved continuing education through LightForce®
- MSAT curriculum collaboration and student lab support
- Partnerships with professional and collegiate organizations
- Clinically trusted technology used across elite sports environments
Together, we help athletic trainers deliver safe and evidence-based care.

Testimonials
We've been using the LightForce® laser in the athletic training rooms that I've worked in for as long as I can remember. Players ask for the laser, and it becomes a part of their routine.
The interesting component with LightForce® is that we can use [it] to keep players on the field, whether it's an acute condition... or whether it's a chronic condition. There [are] so many applications with the LightForce [laser] that it's amazing.
Our players liked the [LightForce® laser] so much and it was getting used so much that we had no choice but to get a second one. Anything that we can do… that has good scientific background and that the players can buy into is a positive.

Academic Outreach
Chattanooga® partners with universities and MSAT programs across the country to deliver immersive, hands-on learning experiences that prepare athletic training students to utilize treatment technologies, like high-intensity laser therapy (HILT), extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in real-world settings upon graduation.
Chattanooga® recently led a hands-on shockwave therapy course for the University of North Florida’s M.S. in Athletic Training (MSAT) program. Students gained practical knowledge about shockwave therapy and its role in patient care. We’re proud to support future athletic trainers in their journey to improve outcomes for their patients.
Chattanooga® sponsored the Lower Extremity Tendinopathy: Physical Therapy and Athletic Training Professional Development course at the University of Delaware in 2025, a program designed to advance evidence-based care for one of the most common and challenging conditions in rehabilitation and sports medicine. Developed for athletic trainers and physical therapists, the course focused on practical, clinically relevant strategies to improve outcomes across performance, return-to-play, and rehabilitation settings. The program featured hands-on workshops using Chattanooga technologies—including LightForce® laser therapy, Intelect® shockwave therapy, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)—along with expert instruction from leading clinicians and researchers.
