A Certified Athletic Therapist must have fulfilled the academic, and practical requirements as outlined in the document entitled "Procedures for Certification" on the CATA website. Certified members have successfully completed a comprehensive theory exam, and a subsequent oral/practical exam developed and administered by the certification board of the CATA. The Scope of Practice of a Certified Athletic Therapist includes the prevention, immediate care, and reconditioning of musculoskeletal injuries. Prevention includes musculoskeletal and postural evaluation, equipment selection, fitting and repair, warm-up, conditioning programs, prophylactic or supportive taping, and adapting to the activity environment and facilities. Treatments include a combination of heat and ice therapy, ultrasound, laser, electrical modalities, massage and joint mobilization, and safe and progressive exercise rehabilitation programs to get you back on your feet as soon as possible! June is Athletic Therapy Month, seek out an Athletic Therapist today to see what they can do for you!! Healthview Therapy Centre 5118 Roblin Blvd, Winnipeg MB ![]() Recent scientific studies have unlocked the mystery of acupuncture and were able to show anatomical and physiological mechanisms of acupuncture. The growing body of scientific literature is responsible for increased popularity of acupuncture in Western Medicine. A study by Irnich et al. was able to show that a single treatment of acupuncture had immediate effects on pain and mobility (range of motion) in patients with chronic neck pain(1). ![]() Healthview Therapy Centre is pleased to welcome Kaylee Woodward to our team of practitioners. Kaylee will be taking over part of our already busy athletic therapy and physiotherapy practice starting May 9/13. The great thing about athletic therapy is that it is almost the exact same thing as physiotherapy, but in addition to treating regular musculoskeletal complaints an Athletic Therapist has additional training in treating sport related injuries. Insurance companies also treat physio and athletic therapy as essentially the same thing. If you have coverage for physiotherapy, you will have coverage for athletic therapy. Remember you do not need to be an athlete to see and athletic therapist. So now you can choose between or combine physio and athletic therapy. Anyone interested in booking an appointment with Kaylee can either call 204-885-5864 or click here. Healthview Therapy Centre 5118 Roblin Blvd, Winnipeg MB |
