Athletic Therapy (also known as athletic training in the USA, sports therapy in Europe & Australia, &
biokinetics in South Africa) is the prevention, immediate care, treatment and rehabilitation of
musculoskeletal injuries by an Athletic Therapist (aka athletic trainer, sports therapists, biokineticist). It
involves the assessment of physical function, the treatment of dysfunction caused by pain and/or injury in
order to develop, maintain and maximize independence and prevent dysfunction. User groups of this
service are varied and can include but are not limited to people with a musculoskeletal injury that may be
active individuals, injured workers, motor vehicle accident injuries, recreational athletes, professional
athletes and competitive amateur athletes.
What many people think of as Sports Medicine is actually Athletic Therapy. The Athletic Therapists works
with physicians and other medical personnel, employers, patients, parents, guardians, and athletic personnel
in the development and coordination of efficient and responsive health care delivery systems. Athletic
Therapists are integral members of the health care team in secondary schools, colleges and universities,
professional sports teams, sports medicine clinics, MVA rehabilitation clinics, WSIB clinics, assessment
centers, gyms, health clubs, corporate /industrial, and other health care settings. Athletic Therapists may
also open their own health clinics or health clubs.
There is no unemployment in this health profession as everyone finds employment or opens his/her own
private athletic therapy clinic. The average annual income depends on jurisdiction but generally ranges
from $41,000 to $78,000. The demand for Athletic Therapists is increasing at an exponential rate.
