University athletic trainers stay at the top of their game with Neurac Institute’s world-class methods – also available to local area residents and athletes
PRINCETON, NJ — September 2012 — Neurac Institute, a leader in neuromuscular rehabilitation and fitness, recently held a two-day course for Princeton University athletic trainers and physical therapists to teach the Neurac assessment and treatment method on Redcord equipment, used to restore control and stability for sports and daily activities. Princeton University is among an impressive list of Olympic, professional and collegiate teams from across the country, including the US Women’s Rowing Team, Washington Capitals and LA Dodgers, who have all been trained by Neurac Institute. In 2010, Neurac Institute opened its doors to the public for physical therapy, sports rehabilitation and wellness programs. Weekend warriors, student athletes, and the like, can take advantage of the most innovative neuromuscular training techniques available in the industry from this unique Princeton facility that “trains the trainers.”
Princeton University’s Athletic Medicine staff works with top athletes in over 40 sports including football, lacrosse, soccer, track & field, golf, tennis, swimming and diving, and are responsible for between 1000-1200 athletes. Each athletic trainer focuses on three to four sports. They are always looking for new and innovative ways for effective diagnosis of injuries, and rehabilitation and sports training techniques.
“Neurac Institute and Princeton University have been working together to give their athletes the ultimate in rehabilitation and performance training benefits through the use of Redcord,” states Ian Kornbluth, physical therapist and co-founder of Neurac Institute. “While we treat and train the general public – we also give in-depth state approved CEU courses to physical therapists and athletic trainers from around the country in our Princeton offices, as well as on-site. Princeton residents don’t even realize that the latest advancements in athletic peak performance used by world-class Olympians and athletes are available to them right here at Neurac Institute.”
“Redcord helps treat patients effectively in a shorter amount of time and we see results much quicker,” states Natalie Senese, Princeton University’s athletic trainer. “This will help us spend more time taking care of more athletes as we have over 40 sports that we manage. Plus, I think it (Redcord) can apply to anyone, it’s not just an athlete.”
“It gets people better and gets them better faster than anything else I’ve done," states Russell Steves, Princeton University physical therapist with over 29 years experience. "This (Redcord) is an indispensable tool. For certain problems this is absolutely the best tool."
Whether it’s to rehabilitate a certain athletic injury or simply get back into shape, Redcord using the Neurac method is for everyone, regardless of age or athletic ability.
