What is an Athletic Therapist!?
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.
"I would highly recommend Eryn to anyone that is in pain and needs to get that sorted. I was having some fairly intense Neck & Shoulder pain, I went to see Eryn and she fixed me up. She was tough, but her methods work wonders. She will tell you how it is in the most pleasant way possible, but that also means you can evaluate yourself and understand what has happened. Mountain Athletic Therapy - It Hurts, but it Works!.."
