The Scope of Practice of a Certified Athletic Therapist includes the assessment, prevention, immediate care, and reconditioning of musculoskeletal injuries.

A typical Athletic Therapy Session would last up to 1 hour.

During that time a Certified Athletic Therapist will assess a client’s injury and/or condition, utilize contemporary rehabilitative techniques, therapeutic modalities, soft tissue mobilization, physical reconditioning, and supportive strapping procedures to promote an environment conducive to optimal healing in preparing the individual for safe reintegration into an active lifestyle.

Athletic Therapy is covered under several extended health benefit plans and can often be added to a policy at the request of the person insured.
