What Is Athletic Therapy?
Regulated care that bridges injury and full return to activity.
Athletic therapy is a regulated healthcare discipline that combines hands-on manual treatment with evidence-based exercise rehabilitation. It focuses on the prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries from acute sports trauma to chronic overuse conditions.
Think of your athletic therapist as the professional who bridges the gap etween injury and full return to activity. They don't just treat the symptom. They treat the movement pattern, the
compensations, and the root cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
What patients ask us most.
What does an athletic therapist do?
An athletic therapist assesses, treats, and rehabilitates musculoskeletal injuries using manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and modality-based treatments. At MÖWE, your athletic therapist also coordinates with other specialists on your care team to address the full picture of your injury and recovery.
Is athletic therapy covered by insurance in Ontario?
Many extended health benefit plans in Ontario cover athletic therapy. Coverage varies by provider — check with your insurer before your first appointment. MÖWE also accepts WSIB claims and motor vehicle accident rehabilitation cases.
What's the difference between an athletic therapist and a physiotherapist?
Athletic therapists specialize in sport and movement-based rehabilitation with a strong emphasis on return-to-activity. Physiotherapists cover a broader clinical scope. Both are effective, and at MÖWE, they work together so your treatment plan draws on both areas of expertise.
How long does athletic therapy take?
Recovery timelines depend on the injury type and severity. Acute injuries may resolve in 4–8 sessions; chronic or post-surgical conditions often require 10–16 sessions or more. Your MÖWE therapist sets realistic milestones and adjusts your program as you progress.
Can athletic therapy help with non-sport injuries?
Absolutely. Athletic therapy is equally effective for workplace injuries, repetitive strain conditions, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain — not just sports-related trauma. If you move, athletic therapy has something to offer you.
Do I need a doctor's referral for athletic therapy in Mississauga?
No referral is required to book athletic therapy at MÖWE. You can contact the clinic directly and schedule your initial assessment. A referral may be required by some insurance providers for coverage purposes — confirm with your plan before your first session.
