What many people think of as Sports Medicine is actually Athletic Therapy (also known as athletic training, sports therapy, or biokinetics). The Athletic Therapists (also known as athletic trainers, sports therapists or biokineticists) works with physicians and other medical personnel, employers, patients, parents, guardians, and athletic personnel in the development and coordination of efficient and responsive health care delivery systems.
Athletic Therapists are integral members of the health care team in secondary schools, colleges and universities, professional sports teams, sports medicine clinics, MVA rehabilitation clinics, WSIB clinics, assessment centers, gyms, health clubs, corporate /industrial, and other health care settings. Athletic Therapists may also open their own health clinics or health clubs.
There is no unemployment in this health profession as everyone finds employment or opens his/her own clinic. The average annual income depends on jurisdiction but generally ranges from $41,000 to $78,000. The demand for Athletic Therapists are increasing at an exponential rate.
