Located on the first floor of Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall is the University of Georgia Football Athletic Training Room. The Football Athletic Training Room serves the daily sports medicine needs of the football team. The athletic training room contains separate areas for treatment, rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, and taping.
This athletic training room is stocked with numerous treatment tables, massage tables, and taping decks. Several modality units, such as electrical stimulation units, ultrasound, laser units, diathermy, deep muscle stimulator massage units, and a hydrocollator are placed around the treatment tables for convenient use. A Cybex machine is available for strength testing and rehabilitation of various injuries. A KoreBalance force plate is also available for rehabilitation purposes. The Football Athletic Training room has two bikes (one recumbent and one upright), an upper body ergometer (UBE), SportsRac, Versa Climber, and a Stairmaster. Other rehabilitation tools include Theraband and tubing, dumbbell and cuff weights, Swiss balls, Bosus, foam rolls, and step blocks.
The hydrotherapy room is adjacent to the area utilized for rehabilitation. It is housed in a room with glass doors and windows which allow for adequate supervision of hydrotherapy treatments while reducing the noise level to the remainder of the facility. The hydrotherapy room contains two low-boy unit whirlpools, one permanent six-person cold whirlpool, an underground pool with treadmill, an ice machine, and a freezer.
The Football Athletic Training Room is staffed by three full-time athletic trainers, two graduate assistant athletic trainers, the administrative assistant, and approximately eight athletic training students. The athletic training room has two staff offices, one graduate assistant office, and a doctor's exam room equipped with C-Arm fluoroscopy technology.
