The Concierge Athletic Trainer Network was built around three simple beliefs — about access to care, the value of the athletic training profession, and the people who built careers around it.
"Athletic trainers are among the most versatile and underutilized healthcare professionals in the country. CATN exists to change that — one connection at a time."
Too many people in need of qualified musculoskeletal care don't know where to turn. Too many skilled athletic trainers in independent practice struggle to reach the clients who need them most. CATN bridges that gap — simply, directly, and without intermediaries.
Our three pillars
Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, preparing for surgery, or trying to stay healthy and active — you deserve access to a qualified athletic trainer. CATN makes that search simple, local, and free.
No referrals. No gatekeepers. Just a direct connection to a credentialed professional who can help.
Athletic trainers are healthcare professionals — not gym staff, not personal trainers. They hold nationally recognized certifications, meet rigorous education standards, and in most states must hold a state license to practice.
CATN exists in part to make that clear to the public, and to give the profession the visibility it has long deserved.
A growing number of athletic trainers are building independent practices and concierge businesses outside of traditional employment settings. They're entrepreneurs, and they deserve tools to grow.
CATN gives independent ATCs a searchable, credentialed presence — with their own website, social media, and contact info displayed — to help them build the clientele they've worked for.
Why it matters
Most people have no idea how to find an independent athletic trainer. There has never been a centralized, credential-reviewed directory — until now.
Athletic trainers are consistently confused with personal trainers by the general public. The credential and the scope of practice deserve better recognition.
ATCs building private practices often lack the marketing infrastructure to reach clients. CATN is a free tool that works for them around the clock.
Qualified musculoskeletal care shouldn't be limited to those with a physician referral or access to a sports program. It should be available to everyone.
