ATHLETIC THERAPY FOR MOVEMENT, STRENGTH & RETURN TO PLAY
What is Athletic Therapy?
Athletic therapy focuses on the prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, with an emphasis on returning individuals to full function and performance.
Certified Athletic Therapists are trained to manage the full spectrum of injury care—from acute injuries on the field to structured rehabilitation and return to sport or activity. They work in a variety of settings including professional sports, collegiate athletics, and clinical environments.
At Bloor West Village Chiropractic & Rehab, Athletic therapy is ideal for active individuals, athletes of all levels, and those with physically demanding jobs who want a more structured, strength and conditioning–based approach to recovery.
