Athletic Therapy is a healthcare profession that specializes in the prevention, assessment, and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries (muscles, bones, joints), especially as they relate to athletics and the pursuit of physical activity. While geared towards sports injuries and rehabilitation, athletic therapy treatments can also benefit the general population.

Athletic therapists are also highly skilled at emergency care, first aid, bracing and taping.
