Athletic Therapy
Winnipeg
Personalized care for pain, injury, and better movement for everyday life.
Athletic Therapy at Revolution Rehab focuses on helping people reduce pain, restore movement, and feel confident in their bodies again. Our Certified Athletic Therapists use thoughtful assessment, hands-on treatment, and practical rehab strategies designed to fit real life, not just the clinic.
A Different Approach to Rehabilitation
Athletic Therapy at Revolution Rehab is not protocol-driven or gym-based.
Your therapist takes time to understand how your body moves, how your day looks, and what your body needs to recover.
Instead of long exercise lists, your care focuses on:
identifying the root cause of pain or stiffness
hands-on treatment
a small number of meaningful movement changes
strategies you can actually use at home or work
No gym required.
If you can do your rehab in our living room, you can do it in yours, without complicated equipment or overwhelming programs.
This approach works especially well for people dealing with chronic or recurring pain, unresolved injuries, or frustration with rushed appointments. Many people arrive at Athletic Therapy after trying other approaches, such as physiotherapy or chiropractic care, and are looking for a more individualized, movement-focused plan.

FAQs on
Athletic Therapy
in Winnipeg
-
No. Despite the name, Athletic Therapy is well suited for everyday adults dealing with pain, stiffness, injury, or movement limitations. Many of our clients are desk workers, parents, or active adults who simply want to move more comfortably and confidently.
-
Athletic Therapy focuses on understanding how your body moves as a whole and how pain or injury influences movement elsewhere in the body. While some rehabilitation approaches, including physiotherapy, often focus on the specific area of injury, Athletic Therapy places greater emphasis on how different systems work together and how daily demands affect recovery.
This allows treatment plans to be designed around the full picture, not just the site of pain, with care guided by how your body responds over time.
-
Your session is one-on-one with your therapist and includes assessment, hands-on treatment when appropriate, and clear explanation. Your plan is designed to be practical and easy to carry into everyday life.
-
Yes. Because Athletic Therapy looks at how your body functions as a whole, it is often effective for chronic or recurring pain. Many people seek Athletic Therapy after trying other approaches and finding their symptoms haven’t fully resolved.
By assessing movement patterns, daily demands, and how different areas of the body interact, care is designed to address contributing factors rather than focusing only on the site of pain.
-
No. Most rehab plans require little to no equipment. If you can do your rehab in the clinic, you should be able to do it at home or at work.
-
No. We focus on a small number of meaningful changes rather than long exercise lists. The goal is consistency and progress, not overwhelm.
-
Many extended health insurance plans include coverage for Athletic Therapy. Coverage varies by provider, so we recommend checking with your insurer. Our team can help answer questions about billing.
-
Direct billing may be available depending on your insurance provider. Please contact our front desk for current options.
Here is a list of companies we offer direct billing for, however each plan is different. -
Yes, the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba (WCB) does offer coverage for Athletic Therapy services. The Initial Assessment is always covered, and then we put in a request for coverage of additional treatments.
-
Yes, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) has coverage for Athletic Therapy services. The Initial Assessment and subsequent treatments are covered up to a certain number depending on the injury category.
-
Both can help with pain, injury, and rehabilitation. A Sports Physiotherapist is a physiotherapist with sport-focused training, while a Certified Athletic Therapist (CAT[C]) is trained specifically in injury assessment, movement analysis, and individualized rehab planning based on real-life demands. You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from Athletic Therapy.
