How it All Started
ErgoPros began with a simple mission: to bring expert care and injury prevention to the workplace through authentic, people-first connections. Founded by Steve Favia, a certified athletic trainer with a hands-on approach, the company quickly earned a reputation for helping organizations care for injured employees and prevent future incidents.
As demand grew, Steve built a team of professionals who shared his passion for employee well-being and workplace safety. Today, ErgoPros Sports Medicine partners with companies nationwide to deliver tailored injury-prevention, ergonomic, and wellness programs that help employees move better, feel better, and work safer.

Cost Savings & Insurance Reduction
How On-Site Industrial Athletic Trainers Strengthen Your Bottom Line
Workplace injuries cost more than just downtime — they impact morale, productivity, and insurance premiums.
By integrating certified industrial athletic trainers directly into your operations, companies like yours can proactively reduce these costs and keep employees at their best.
-
Early intervention prevents minor injuries from becoming costly claims.
-
Faster return-to-work programs minimize lost time and productivity gaps.
-
Streamlined care coordination helps lower both direct and indirect medical costs.
Through OSHA’s Safety Pays estimator, employers can quantify the financial impact of injuries on their bottom line — and the potential savings of reducing claim frequency and severity through on-site athletic training.
