What athletic therapy focuses on
The Canadian Athletic Therapists Association describes athletic therapy as involving assessment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, including muscles, bones and joints. It is relevant to everyday activity as well as sport.
At Kinetic Haus, an appointment is a chance to discuss what happened, how you currently move and the activities you want to return to. The clinician can assess your circumstances and explain an appropriate plan. Treatment and recovery timelines vary between people.
Meet the practitioners
Mary Lalancette is the Clinic Director and is listed as a Certified Athletic Therapist on Jane. Tina Szeto's published profile also identifies her as a certified athletic therapist. Both profiles include their broader clinical backgrounds.
Read the team profiles and choose an available athletic therapy appointment in Jane. If you are unsure which discipline to select, contact the clinic before booking. The team can explain the service options without requiring you to decide from a list of symptoms alone.
Connect rehabilitation with your activity goals
Bring information about your sport, work or daily routines, and any relevant advice from other healthcare providers. Ask what you can do between appointments, what changes should prompt a follow-up and how progress will be assessed.
Performance coaching is a separate service at the same facility. If you are seeking strength and conditioning rather than injury assessment, explore athletic training. Booking a training session is not a substitute for clinical clearance or an individual rehabilitation plan.
Before you book
Do I need to be a competitive athlete?
Athletic therapy is not limited to competitive athletes. Describe your activity goals and circumstances to the clinic so the practitioner can assess whether the service is suitable.
Is athletic therapy the same as physiotherapy?
They are distinct professions with overlapping areas of rehabilitation. Kinetic Haus offers both. Review the practitioner profiles or ask the clinic which appointment type to consider.
Where are appointments for York Region visitors?
Appointments are at 107 Orfus Rd in North York, Toronto. Visitors travelling from York Region should allow time for the journey and check the appointment details in Jane.
