Happy Athletic Therapy Month to all of Athletic Therapists in Canada (Canadian Athletic Therapy Association) https://athletictherapy.org/en/ and to our provincial organization Manitoba Athletic Therapist Association https://www.mata.mb.ca/ We are celebrating “us” in helping everyday athletes recover from injuries and helping them perform well on the field and in daily activities. 

People in general always ask, do you have to be a professional athlete to see an Athletic Therapist?

No, you don’t need to be a professional athlete to see an Athletic Therapist. Anybody that moves and performs everyday activities (gardening, carrying groceries, carrying kids, assisting injured people, climbing stairs, walking) you are an athlete.

Athletic Therapy specializes in musculo-skelatal injuries, prevention and care of sports injury or in their active daily lifestyle. Athletic Therapists are experts in injury assessment, full body observation, treatments and exercise prescriptions.
