We are all athletes: BATC celebrates National Athletic Therapy Month

"Ever wonder just what they do over there on the second floor of the Investors Group Athletic Centre marked “Bison Athletic Therapy Centre” (BATC)?

Before visiting the centre for whiplash after my car was rear-ended in traffic, I wondered too. After several weeks of treatment, including massage therapy, stretches, strengthening exercises and education about neck and muscle injuries, it became clear to me how athletic therapy rehabilitates not only athletes but also regular people like me after an injury."

"(Tracy) Nyczai says that celebrating National Athletic Therapy Month (NATM) is a great way for the centre to “create awareness about athletic therapy as a choice for rehabilitation. It helps individuals safely return to work or play after injury or pain.” 

The BATC will mark this year’s NATM with an obstacle course at the Sneaker Day celebration and members of the centre’s team will be available there to answer questions people may have about athletic therapy or concussions, which is this year’s theme for NATM."
