Middletown, PA (PRWEB) January 13, 2014 -- With his dynamic personality and wealth of experience, Division I head football athletic trainer Murphy Grant is no stranger to giving advice when it comes to helping athletes return to tiptop shape after injuries. Throughout his career, he has facilitated the return of many college-level elite football players.
