An ankle sprain can always be managed by walking off the pain and applying an ice pack.

A suspect with an artificial hip leaves a distinctive shoe impression for trace evidence.

An actor portraying back pain should bend backward at the waist when walking.

We help you understand the similarities and differences between our service and that of a medical examiner (forensic) technical advisor, physician, nurse, chiropractor, medic, and personal trainer. Knowing who you need on a medical crew can save your production hundreds of dollars a day.

For what type of shoots do you provide service?
On-set and on-location films or commercials that have stunts, action, sports, portray physical injuries/limitations, or have actors and crew who are health concious. We can show your actors how to portray pain or physical injuries, physically train your actors and crew, prevent and manage injuries that occur, and keep bodies fine tuned for performance and productivity. This comprehensive service of technical advice, physical training, and injury management for your production allows you to hire less medical personnel. We are not medics; however, we do provide minor first aid.
