ATHLETIC THERAPY | VICTORIA, BC

Certified Athletic Therapists (CAT's) are skilled healthcare professionals that specialize in providing care for orthopedic injuries, whether acute or chronic. Furthermore, CAT’s are experts at injury assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, reconditioning, and prevention.

Athletic Therapy treatments are based on the Sport Medicine model, an active rehabilitation approach with an objective to find and treat the cause of conditions and not just the symptoms. This method encourages the patient to follow an active approach to rehabilitating their injury rather than a passive, therapist-dependent approach or reliance on modalities. This leads to faster recovery, decreases risk of re-injury, and reinforces treatment outcomes. Athletic Therapists also are first responders, providing sideline emergency care for sports organizations.

  • Multidisciplinary clinics

A first visit to our clinic generally requires a 45 or 60 minute appointment. Almost all appointments begin with a consultation where your therapist will review your health history and conduct any appropriate assessments and special tests. The remainder of time will be hands on followed by reassessment. If indicated, your therapist will recommend any appropriate homecare techniques which will help to support your personal healthcare goals.
For manual therapists to achieve the most effective results it is recommended that there is access to bare skin. Keep in mind that throughout the appointment your well-being is key and you are only ever encouraged to dress down to your comfort level. While you are on the table you will be draped under a sheet at all times and only the area being treated will be undraped. If you do choose to remain clothed for your treatment, athletic wear is the best choice (shorts, t-shirt, stretchy clothing).
This will be determined by both you and your therapist based on your individual healthcare needs. Should they be required, your therapist will discuss the frequency of upcoming treatments to find a schedule that best suits your wellness goals.
