Athletic Therapy is a health care profession that specializes in the prevention, assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, joints) conditions particularly as they relate to athletics and the pursuit of physical activity. Certified Athletic Therapists provide treatment in the field/on-site with emergency care for athletes as well as assess, rehabilitate injuries and provide clinic care for athletes.
Though athletic therapists follow the Sports Medicine Model of care and specialize in athlete care, they treat a wide range of patients. From kids with concussions to seniors recovering from hip replacement surgery, athletic therapy uses a variety of manual therapies, modalities, exercises as well as bracing and taping. Though treatments may differ, the goal of treatment stays the same. At Berwyn Athletic and Physical Therapy Inc. our goal is to teach you to get moving safely and effectively to optimize your daily activity and keep you moving!
