Siena Sports Medicine

Under the direction of head athletic trainer Greg Dashnaw, entering his 21st year at Siena, and assistant athletic trainer Jessica Horan, beginning her first year at Siena, the sports medicine office is responsible for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries to Siena’s athletes. Over the past two decades, Dashnaw has had a tremendous impact on the development and general health of Siena’s student athletes. The sports medicine office also works with the athletes on nutritional counseling and stress management, promoting the physical and psychological well being of student-athletes.

Student athletes have access to some of the most modern treatment available in the Siena training room. The treatment area includes eight treatment tables with various modalites including electric stimulation and ultrasound as well as an additional taping platform. Siena’s athletes also have access to three full body whirlpools for hydrotherapy, two ice machines, two full-size hydrocollatots for hot packs, and combination cold/intermittent compression units. The sports medicine office also utilizes numerous rehabilitation devices, including aquatic therapy through the use of the onsite pool to ensure student-athletes safe and quick recovery to pre-injury (if not better) levels.

The athletic training staff works under the direct supervision of a team of physicians. Included among the team, Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Joseph Marotta, a former lacrosse player and 1980 graduate of Siena, and General Practitioner Dr. Vincent Luvera make regular visits to campus and cover several events during the course of the athletic season.
