I am no physical therapist or Dr. or Shelby Valley Fan but I have heard them say that without the proper stretching and therapy certain injuries such as hamstring pulls, achilles tendon (strains, partial tears), back injuries etc. will not heal properly and prolong the return to action. I'm not sure but this may be what "Wildcat Football Parent" is talking about. With all this taken into consideration I can see the value of having a properly trained physical therapist or trainer on a high school staff. I know that many high school coaches are getting these types of people to work with their teams through the week and Friday nights and in most cases it is a community member that is willing to donate their time and effort to help out their local sports programs.
