Athletic Therapy
Certified Athletic Therapists specialize in the prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries — including muscles, bones, and joints.
While they’re often recognized for their quick response and on-field care for athletes, their expertise extends far beyond the sidelines. In a clinical setting, Athletic Therapists use hands-on treatment and exercise-based rehabilitation to help individuals of all ages recover from injury, restore function, and return to their daily activities safely and efficiently.
