Athletic Therapy
Athletic Therapy is for EVERYONE!
It’s a common misconception that Athletic Therapists (AT’s) only work with athletes. However, our goal is to help any and all individuals return to their desired activity level as quickly as possible.
Scope of Practice :
“The practice of Athletic Therapy is within the sport medicine model of care and is the assessment (in either the field or clinical setting) of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disease, dysfunction or disorders; and the treatment, rehabilitation, management, prevention or relief of physical dysfunction, injury or pain to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment the function and promote mobility.”
Every client is different. AT’s may use any of the following in your sessions to achieve your goals:
