How is Athletic Therapy different from Physiotherapy?

Certified Athletic Therapists specialize in orthopaedic injuries - muscles, bones and joints.  Athletic Therapy is based on a sports medicine model of rehabilitation; to retrain the active individual with sport specific exercises to return to pre-injury performance levels with injury prevention, supportive taping, and emergency care with sports teams

Physiotherapists have a much wider scope of practice including orthopaedics, cardio-respiratory, burn patients, paediatrics, geriatrics, and neurological diseases.
