Rehabilitation
Post injury, athletic therapy focuses on preparing active individuals to reestablish their pre-injury lifestyle, through physical reconditioning, hands-on therapy and other rehabilitative techniques.
Athletic therapists earn university or college degrees and must pass a national examination before being allowed to practice. They are certified by the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association under a regulated Provincial Act.
