Athletic Therapy is a health care profession that specializes in prevention, emergency care, assessment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries (muscles, joints, ligaments, bones).
Following a Sport Medicine Model of care, an Athletic Therapist utilizes contemporary rehabilitation methods including manual therapies, therapeutic modalities, corrective exercise, physical reconditioning, and taping and bracing in order to accelerate an individual’s return to pre-injury status.
The scope of practice of a Certified Athletic Therapist is based on a foundation of intensive training in the human musculoskeletal system, exercise physiology, biomechanics and emergency care. Theoretical and practical education prepares an Athletic Therapist to specialize in injury prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation in both on field sport settings, and clinical care.
