Tactical Athletes have physically taxing work, leading to higher injury rates. This seminar will cover how to avoid injuries, the best approaches for rehabbing an injury, navigating the insurance and BWC process, and ideas for embedding healthcare within an agency. These sessions will be led by occupational health doctors, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and healthcare process experts. Each session will be focused on interactive learning that prepares attendees to return to their organization ready to share. Topics will include:

• When to do self-care versus when to see a doctor
• What should I do? Surgery, physical therapy, or other types of treatment?
• Q&A on the Bureau of Workers' Compensation process
• The most common injuries and how to avoid them

We invite anyone interested in improving their personal or organizational health and performance to join this event.

• First responders (law enforcement, fire/rescue, paramedics, military)
• Tactical instructors
• Strength and conditioning coaches
• Health and rehabilitation individuals interested in working with tactical personnel
