Athletic Therapy

Home / Athletic Therapy

Athletic therapy specializes in the prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. Athletic therapists use various techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, taping, and modalities to help individuals return to their pre-injury level of activity.

An athletic therapist typically works with athletes, but they can also work with anyone who has an injury or musculoskeletal condition. They conduct an initial assessment, develop a custom treatment plan, and work with the individual to ensure they are progressing in their rehabilitation.

Athletic therapists provide education on injury prevention and promote a healthy, active lifestyle. They work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians and physiotherapists, to ensure interdisciplinary care and a holistic approach to treatment.
