Certified Athletic Therapists are best known for their quick-thinking on-field emergency care of professional and elite athletes. The first to respond when someone gets hurt, they are experts at injury assessment and rehabilitation. It’s that same mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that makes Athletic Therapists so effective in treating the musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries of all Canadians, whether on the field or in the clinic. 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. The treatment varies but the objective doesn’t: an Athletic Therapist's goal is to help clients return to their usual activities, whether that means playing competitive sports or walking to the mailbox and back.

The formal education of the Athletic Therapist is entirely in the area of assessment and rehabilitation of orthopaedic injuries and conditions that affect the muscles bones and joints of the body. That training is augmented with injury prevention, supportive taping, and emergency care for on field work with teams. Their formal training also includes exercises physiology to retain athlete to pre-injury performance levels. The physiotherapist has a wider scope of practice in their formal education which includes orthopaedics, cardio-respiratory rehab, burn patients, geriatrics, stroke rehab, and rehabilitation for neurological diseases. Typically, a physiotherapist will take continuing education courses to expand on an area of interest once they graduate and focus their attention in one area within their scope of practice which may or may not include sport physiotherapy.
