Certified Athletic Therapists, CAT(C)s, are experts in treating acute and chronic orthopedic injuries, including prevention, assessment, emergency care, rehabilitation, and re-conditioning. Athletic Therapists adhere to the Sports Medicine Model which focuses on treating the cause versus the symptoms, and on the individual taking an active approach to their rehabilitation – resulting in faster recovery, decreased chance of re-injury, and fewer visits to healthcare professionals. Our members are at the forefront of the Canadian sports medicine community, working with most professional sports teams, Olympic and national athletes, as well as industrial and artistic athletes such as in manufacturing and performing arts. Founded in 1965, the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association is the national governing body for Certified Athletic Therapists in Canada, representing over 2,600 certified and candidate members. There are seven regional chapters representing the profession and local membership in their respective provinces and territories.
