Athletic Therapy 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: Athletic therapists employ many strategies to help active individuals avoid or minimize the possibility of injury

Immediate care: Many musculo-skeletal orthopedic injuries require immediate expert care, including injury assessment, first aid and transition into the health care system.

Rehabilitation: Post-injury, athletic therapy focuses on preparing active individuals to re-establish their pre-injury lifestyle through physical reconditioning, hands-on therapy and other rehabilitative techniques.

An athletic therapist is a certified member of the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association and is qualified to use the letters CAT(C) after their name.
