Jon Swift Sports Medicine Center
Within the N.E. Tarble Athletic and Recreation Center(TARC) lies the 2,000 square foot Jon Swift Sports Medicine Center. This facility was built in the fall of 2001 and is home to the athletic training staff of Carthage College. The sports medicine center/ athletic training room provide a superior learning environment for the athletic training students by allowing them to practice their technical skills on the injured athletic population. This center consists of 3 offices, a hydrotherapy room, a rehabilitation and an injury evaluation area, and a section for taping.
In 2009 a new rehabilitation center will be opening with the renovation of the Physical Education Center.

The rehabilitation area has a variety of functional exercise equipment including a versatile cable column weight machine, a stationary exercise bike, the Truestrecth system, a power block weight unit and numerous other proprioceptive devices.

Taping and First Aid
We offer 6 taping tables fully stocked with taping and wound care supplies. Athletes can have their wounds cleaned and covered, along with any taping or wrapping they need. This allows an excellent opportunity for students to practice and perfect their skills in taping, wrapping, and wound care.

Hydrotherapy
The hydrotherapy area has its own separate area allowing for noise control while not compromising supervision issues. Three whirlpools, an ice machine, hydrocollator, and storage of our hydration supplies are housed in this area.

Location
The Jon Swift Sports Medicine center is located on the first floor of the TARC adjacent to our locker rooms. This allows quick access to the athletic training room prior to practice or competition. The athletic training room lies 30 feet away from the outside door that leads to Art Keller Field. This makes it very easy to transport supplies to the game field and injured athletes back to the athletic training room.
