What is Athletic Therapy? 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.

Myth #2: Athletic therapy involves a lot exercise. Believe it or not, you're already exercising and you don't even know it. When you go to catch that bus that you're a little bit late for, what do you do? ... you make a clear sprint towards that bus stop.... When you're bagging your groceries into a reusable bag, and hauling it into the back of your vehicle, what do you do? ... you lift those heavy bags with your arms. For all new parents out there with 8, 10, 12 pound newborns that you just cannot let go of and needs your constant love and attention, what are you doing ? ... you cradle that baby until they fall asleep in your arms. The list can go on and go on. It all depends in your definition of exercise and physical activity. For me, depending on your injury and it’s stage of healing, treatment will involve a varied amount of exercise. Ever heard of the term, "use it or lose it?" that applies so heavily on injuries. Exercise promotes healing and improves health when used properly in a rehabilitation program. I will work to make your return to any activity as sport or work or even life specific as I can. Athletic Therapy treatment can also include taping, stretching, strengthening, manual therapy, modalities and more. Whatever your finish line, let me be there to help you cross it. Call (204) 888 8840 for more information.

Happy Friday ! As the weather is starting to get warmer and warmer, do not forget to take care of yourself. Whatever it is you're doing this weekend, squeeze in some physical activity in there ! Stay safe and have fun! Just in case, for all your aches and pains, call me (204) 888 8840

Athletic Therapy Athletic Therapists (ATs) are skilled in the areas of emergency care, injury assessment and treatment as well as injury prevention. When you co...me into the CPRSMT trailer we will look at your injury discover what the problem is (whether it is a damaged ligament, pulled muscle, or something else) and then we will determine the best course of action. Perhaps you need exercises to strengthen a weak area or increase flexibilIty in a tight area. We have other manual skills as well to help with muscle injuries and ease pain in the area. If the injury includes a damaged ligament we can tape the joint to provide lost stability during the healing process. We will also give you ideas of things you can do on your own over the next few days or weeks to ensure your injury heals well and you can perform at your best in the rodeo arena. We are trained in the skills required for emergency care. That’s why one of the ATs is always watching the action in the arena. We are usually the first ones to an injured cowboy. If the ambulance is required we are very skilled helpers for that crew. We are also the ones bandaging up cuts, and scrapes, if needed. Other skills we have include building braces for specific events to help prevent injury. For instance, maleolus pads (or inner ankle bone) to protect saddle bronc riders’ ankles as well as neck braces for the bareback riders. Sometimes we will build a specific protective device for a cowboy to protect an injured area from further damage. Athletic Therapy is a different profession than Physical Therapy. We have different training, education, as well as different areas of focus and different strengths. Please, don’t call us Physios -BT-
