The mix of on-site care and active rehabilitation skills that makes Athletic Therapists effective in treating musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, and joints) injuries whether on the field or in the clinic.
Athletic therapist 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.
