What is Athletic Therapy?
Athletic Therapy is a health care profession specializing in the prevention, assessment and care of musculoskeletal injuries with a focus on athletics and the pursuit of physical activity.
Athletic Therapists provide assessments and treatments of a multitude of injuries utilizing acute injury care, therapeutic modalities, manual therapy, and strength and conditioning work with the goal of returning the patient back to pre-injury levels of activity or athletic competition. Athletic Therapists are trained in the assessment and recognition of signs and symptoms, as well as the management of mild traumatic brain injury and sport related concussions.
Athletic Therapists are also known for their abilities in response to injuries or emergency situations in a sport setting and providing on-site assessment and care.

No. Athletic Therapy can benefit all who are looking to live an active lifestyle. Our goal is to return you to or keep you participating in the activities you enjoy whether it is working out at the gym, fitness or dance classes, recreational or competitive sport.

A Doctor’s referral is not required for those looking to book an appointment at the Athletic Therapy Centre. We ask that if you have seen a Physician, you bring any prescriptions, notes, or results as it can better help guide our treatment planning. We may also refer you to a Physician if we believe further testing, imaging, or diagnoses would be beneficial.
The cost of Athletic Therapy appointments is included in the incidental fees paid by University of Toronto students, and are therefore available only to incidental fee paying University of Toronto students that are currently in session.
