Wyoming Rehab has a state-of-the art sports medicine program that aims to prevent and treat sports related injuries. Our staff wants our patients to heal quickly and properly so they can continue in their activities. We treat children and adults, providing special, individualized treatment plans for each patient.
Our high school athletic training program is extensive, serving Sheridan, Big Horn, and Tongue River high schools. Amanda Monterastelli has been the certified athletic trainer since 2005. She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wyoming and a master’s degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
As an athletic trainer, Monterastelli attends games and practices for all of the sports at the three high schools. She takes preventive measures with athletes by taping, bandaging or wrapping body parts that might become injured. She also evaluates injuries to determine next steps - treatment of emergency injuries, management of minor injuries or referral to a physician. She must communicate with players, coaches, physicians and families on a regular basis and determine the athlete’s rehabilitation activities and how or when they might return to practice or competition.
The annual 3-on-3 basketball tournament, Hoop Jam directly supports the athletic training program.
