Athletic Therapy Guide
When an athlete is injured they often seek out athletic therapy.
Finding a nearby Atheletic Therapy Clinic is often a matter of speaking to the athlete's coach, training assitants, or even fellow athletes regarding what therapy clinic they have used and liked.
An Athletic Therapist performs tasks such as:
- assessment of the injury
- if needed - basic emergency life support
- recognition and management of acute traumatic neurological dysfunction
- first aid
- steps to move to an appropriate health care
- facilitating a safe return to sport
An important question is to ask the therapist whether they are certified.
