Athletic Therapy

Certified Athletic Therapists are best known for their quick-thinking on-field emergency care of professional and elite athletes. The first to respond when someone gets hurt, they are experts at injury assessment and rehabilitation. It’s that same mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that makes Athletic Therapists so effective in treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all Canadians, whether on the field or in the clinic.

Athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. They treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: an Athletic Therapist’s goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back.

The scope of practice of a Certified Athletic Therapist starts with the in-depth knowledge, education, and training in the areas of the human musculoskeletal system, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and basic emergency care.

Osteopathy

Manual Osteopathy is a hands on therapy which focuses on the treatment of disorders, conditions and injuries via the manipulation of the bones, joints and muscles. The philosophy of Osteopathy is maintain flow of the lymphatic, circulatory and nervous systems and the aim of osteopathic treatment is to aid the body back to self correction. Osteopathic practitioners are trained under the principle that the body is a whole unit and is healthy when all parts are healthy and expressing correctly. Structure and function are interrelated, so if a musculoskeletal structure is out of alignment, it causes functional limitations.
