Athletic therapy

Athletic therapy is a profession offering services in prevention, emergency care and rehabilitation of sports related or musculoskeletal injuries in the active population.

Professionals practicing athletic therapy are called "Certified Athletic Therapists".  This title is awarded only to members of the Quebec Corporation of Athletic Therapists (CTSQ). They obtained a Bachelor of Science degree and have successfully completed national exams.

Athletic therapists are recognized for their ability to intervene in emergency situations on the field but also to assess and treat athletes and active people with limitations in the practice of their sport or activity.

If you have suffered a muscular or articular injury, sprain, fracture or have a chronic pain that restricts your daily activities or the practice of your favorite sport, our athletic therapists will help you regain those abilities. If you want to improve your performance and prevent injuries, they can also accompany you in your conditioning and strengthening.
