BOOK AN ATHLETIC THERAPY SESSIONWhat is Athletic Therapy?
Athletic Therapy is a specialized musculoskeletal health profession focused on the prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of injuries sustained during physical activity. Certified Athletic Therapists (CATs) are regulated health professionals who complete a rigorous university-level program and pass a national certification exam through the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA).
At Orchard Rehab's Ajax clinic, our CATs bring a sport-first mindset to rehabilitation. Unlike generic injury management, athletic therapy is designed around the specific demands of your sport — the movements you need to perform, the positions you need to hold, and the loads your body must withstand in competition. We don't just restore baseline function; we rebuild sport-level capacity.
As official medical partners of FC Durham and the Durham Dolphins swim club, Orchard Rehab's athletic therapists have extensive experience working with competitive athletes across Durham Region — from Ajax and Pickering to Whitby, Oshawa, and Clarington. We understand the culture of sport and the mindset of athletes who refuse to accept anything less than full recovery.
