Athletic Therapy starts with the in-depth knowledge, education and training in the areas of the human musculoskeletal system, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and basic emergency care.
A Certified Athletic Therapist as designated by CAT(C), has fulfilled academic and practical requirements set out by the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association.
