ATHLETIC THERAPY
Athletic therapists are best known for quick-thinking on-field care for elite athletes. Our scope of practice focuses on prevention, assessment and intervention for musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, ligaments and joints) conditions and injuries. We are trained as first responders and are commonly with an athlete before, during, and after an injury. Our athletic therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model of care. They treat a wide range of patients, from kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, using various manual therapies, modalities, exercise prescription and even bracing and taping.
