Introduction Have you ever wondered how the body heals itself or why certain injuries take longer than others to heal? Well it is up to you and your team of Athletic Trainers to find out!

Task Kenny Klutzy comes to the three of you asking for help with his ankle. He fell playing basketball during gym and now is in a lot of pain. It is your job as the Athletic Trainers to find out what could be wrong.
