What is Athletic Therapy?
Athletic therapy is a profession that takes a whole body approach to the prevention, assessment and rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. It is built around achieving a "rapid return to work and play" through aggressive but safe treatment protocols.
Don't let the name fool you, however - athletic therapy is not just for athletes. Anyone with
an orthopedic injury can benefit from the services provided by a certified athletic therapist.
Using their knowledge, an athletic therapist will start with an initial assessment to
determine the root cause of the symptoms you are experiencing. Treating symptoms will
help with short term relief, but it is solving the problem that will help you on your road to
recovery. Through a combination of manual therapy and exercise prescription, athletic
therapists work with you during the entire recovery process.
Not only will athletic therapy help you recover from your injury, but it will help strengthen
your body as a whole. We take you that one step further in your rehabilitation process.
Once you are feeling more confident in yourself and your body's ability, we will take you
through functional training to get you back to your healthy, active lifestyle, no matter your
level of activity.
LIT Active is proud to be the first athletic therapy clinic in Israel! We work under the
Canadian Athletic Therapy Association scope of practice, keeping up our certification
maintenance through annual continuing education classes.
