The Canisius University Sports Medicine Department is housed in the Center for Athletic Training. The state-of-the art facility, centrally located in the Koessler Athletic Center, is utilized for event and practice preparation and is fully equipped for preventative maintenance and acute and chronic injury rehabilitation. The Center houses private offices for the University’s team physicians and full-time Certified Athletic Trainers who serve the needs of Canisius’ student-athletes. An adjacent Hydrotherapy area compliments the Center in providing the highest quality care for Canisius student-athletes.
