What Do People Ask?

Most Popular Questions

Explore the most frequently asked questions about athletic therapy.  We are here to answer any questions that you may have involving your care.

Athletic therapists can assess and rehabilitate a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, including sprains, strains, ligament injuries, tendon problems, muscle injuries, and activity-related overuse conditions. Athletic therapy can also support recovery after surgery or injury by helping restore strength, mobility, and function through an individualized rehabilitation plan.

Consider seeing an athletic therapist if you have persistent pain, reduced mobility, weakness, or a sudden injury related to sports, exercise, work, or other physical activities. An athletic therapy assessment in Winnipeg can help identify the factors affecting your movement and guide an appropriate rehabilitation plan.

Recovery time varies depending on the type and severity of your injury, your activity level, treatment goals, and how you respond to rehabilitation. Some injuries may improve in a relatively short period, while more complex injuries can require several months of progressive rehabilitation. Your athletic therapist can discuss expected recovery milestones after your initial assessment.

Yes. Injury prevention is an important part of athletic therapy. Your therapist may use movement assessments, functional conditioning, strength training, mobility exercises, and activity-specific strategies to address potential risk factors and help you prepare for the physical demands of your sport or activity.

Returning to sport should depend on your injury, rehabilitation progress, and ability to safely tolerate the demands of your activity. Return-to-play programs may include assessments of strength, mobility, balance, movement control, and sport-specific function. Your athletic therapist can help guide your progression from rehabilitation to training and, when appropriate, activity.

Athletic therapy and physiotherapy both involve the assessment and rehabilitation of injuries, but they have different areas of focus and scopes of practice. Athletic therapy primarily focuses on the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity. Physiotherapy has a broader scope that can include musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and other conditions. The right service depends on your injury, health needs, and recovery goals.

A doctor's referral is generally not required to book an athletic therapy assessment. However, insurance requirements can vary between providers and plans. Check with your insurance company to confirm whether athletic therapy is covered and whether a referral or prescription is required for reimbursement.
