Mission Statement

The Athletic Training Room at MarygroveCollege provides traditional athletic training services to all student athletes attending MarygroveCollege. Services provided include injury prevention (taping, bracing, and padding), management of athletic injuries, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. Whenever possible, the professional staff will educate the injured athlete about the injury sustained so he/she can take control of the rehabilitation process in order to return to activity in a safe and timely manner.

General Overview

The Marygrove College Department of Sports Medicine is partners with the Sports Medicine Physicians from Henry Ford Health System. Dr. Brian Rill, MD, and Dr. Melissa Nayak, MD, of Henry Ford Health System, are the team physicians for Marygrove College athletics. The certified athletic trainer and team physician will work together to provide athletic healthcare services to the student-athletes of Marygrove College.

Pre-Participation Physical Policy

The athletic training staff at Marygrove College is continuously working to provide our student-athletes with the highest quality medical services. In order for us to accomplish this goal, our program requires pertinent information from the student-athlete, his/her parents and family physician.

The Marygrove College Athletic Department requires all student-athletes to receive medical approval from the Marygrove College Sports Medicine Program before a student-athlete is issued equipment and/or permitted to attend any practice, strength and conditioning sessions, and/or compete in any intercollegiate athletic events. A pre-participation physical examination must be administrated by a Marygrove College Team Physician and/or his/her primary physicians.

The pre-physical must be completed on an annual basis. No member of the Marygrove College Intercollegiate Athletics will permit a student-athlete to participate, nor will MarygroveCollege provide insurance coverage to any student-athlete who has not completed the pre-participation physical examination procedure.

If the student-athlete sustained any surgery, serious injury (fracture, impaired organs, hospitalized, etc.) or illness (heart related, experienced chest pain, severe asthma, etc.) last 5 years, please see his/her primary physician and obtain a doctor's note and clearance forms. If this documentation is missing at pre-physical examination, the student-athlete cannot be cleared by our team physician.

If you have any question or concerns, please feel free to contact the athletic training staff. Our office is located in the basement of Madame Cadillac Building in the Wellness Center.
