IS ATHLETIC THERAPY?
Athletic Therapy (A.T.) is a profession
that provides a variety of services that assist active people
who have sustained or could sustain an injury. These services
fall into three main areas:
PREVENTION: A.T.’s employ many strategies
to help active people to avoid or minimize the possibility of
injury.
REHABILITATION: Post injury, athletic therapy
focuses on preparing active individuals to reestablish their pre-injury
lifestyle, through physical reconditioning, hands-on therapy and
other rehabilitative techniques.
Athletic therapists earn university or
college degrees and must pass a national examination before being
allowed to practice. They are certified by the Canadian Athletic
Therapists Association under a regulated Provincial Act.
