An Athletic Therapist is a university trained, primary healthcare professional who has extensive training in the field of musculoskeletal and sports injuries. Similar to physiotherapists, they work individually with their clients to help heal injuries and get them back to their full potential, whether that be returning to sport, getting back to work, or relieving pain or disability.
Athletic Therapists use a number of treatment techniques, such as manual manipulation, massage, electrotherapy modalities, and exercise training to rehab their patients back to full health and strength. A session with an Athletic Therapist will include an assessment, followed by hands-on treatment and rehabilitation in our gym space (when appropriate). Athletic Therapy is regulated by the Canadian Athletic Therapy Association (CATA), and members must be in good standing with them to practice.
