WaveOn Health is an athletic health management service that provides personalized injury prevention, injury evaluation and management, and return-to-play for athletes of all ages and experience levels. This is done through a combination of digital and human interaction with sports medicine experts.

An athletic trainer is a qualified allied healthcare professional who specializes in working with athletes and physically active individuals. They are skilled in injury prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, particularly for musculoskeletal injuries. Athletic trainers play a critical role in managing the health and well-being of athletes, often working in collaboration with doctors and other healthcare providers.

WaveOn Connect is a proprietary virtual platform that seamlessly connects athletes with certified and licensed athletic trainers, delivering comprehensive, real-time athletic training and injury support anytime, anywhere. By leveraging advanced technology and expert human care, WaveOn Connect provides personalized injury prevention, assessment, and recovery guidance.

At WaveOn Health, we define an athlete as anyone with an activity-based performance goal—big or small—who works out, trains, or competes at least four days a week. Our athletes are committed to their progress and already invest in their goals through memberships, equipment, travel, entry fees, or private coaching. Whether you’re a competitive player, a dedicated recreational athlete, or someone striving for personal bests, if you’re actively pursuing improvement and value expert support, you’re an athlete in our eyes. We support individuals aged 13 and up, ensuring everyone has access to professional-level care to recover faster, perform stronger, and stay in the game.

In the early days of a first-to-market company like WaveOn Health, client acquisition is a collaborative process. Many Virtual Athletic Trainers initially engage athletes from their own professional networks and relationships, while WaveOn Health actively scales outreach and brings on larger clients as the number of Virtual Athletic Trainers grows. This combined approach helps build a strong foundation and ensures a steady expansion of athlete opportunities as the platform develops.

Virtual Athletic Trainers on WaveOn Health are independent contractors, not full-time employees. This means you have the flexibility to set your own schedule, choose how many athletes you work with, and manage your client relationships independently, similar to other 1099 contractor roles in the athletic training industry.

Yes, you can work with athletes in-person in a variety of scenarios. Many Virtual Athletic Trainers supplement their virtual care with in-person sessions, whether it’s meeting athletes locally, supporting teams during practices or events, or providing hands-on care as needed.

Yes, Virtual Athletic Trainers on WaveOn Health are required to carry their own professional liability insurance. As independent contractors, having personal coverage protects you in the event of a claim or allegation related to your services, even when working virtually. Relying solely on an employer’s insurance may not provide adequate protection, especially for independent or online work. Carrying your own policy ensures you’re covered across various settings and gives you peace of mind to focus on providing quality care to your athletes.
