CATA is the certifying and governing body for Certified Athletic Therapists practicing in Canada.

Established in 1965 by a group of ATs working with professional hockey and football teams, CATA now represents over 2900 members. Certified Athletic Therapists (CAT(C)s) are experts in treating injuries to the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, and joints), including injury prevention, assessment, emergency and acute care, rehabilitation and re-conditioning.

Recurring injuries can be frustrating, especially when improving symptoms return once activity picks back up.

In many cases, the issue is not just the injury itself. Strength, mobility, movement patterns, recovery time, workload, and return-to-activity timing can all play a role.

Certified Athletic Therapists help assess what may be contributing to the problem and support a plan that helps people move forward with more confidence.

As Concussion Awareness Week comes to a close, the reminders continue beyond this week.

Concussion safety is built through everyday decisions: noticing changes, speaking up early, taking symptoms seriously, and supporting a gradual return to school, work, sport, and activity.

These small actions help create safer spaces for people to participate, recover, and return with the right support.

Knowing what to do starts before a concussion happens.

Concussion Awareness Week is an opportunity to build a better understanding of prevention, recognition, recovery, and return to activity. Whether you are participating, coaching, supporting, teaching, or providing care, education helps everyone play a role in safer sport and recreation.

Take time to learn, ask questions, and use credible concussion resources when you need them.

Recovery after a concussion is not about rushing back. It is about giving the brain and body the time, support, and care needed to return safely.

During Concussion Awareness Week, we're highlighting the importance of informed recovery, gradual return to activity, and the role of qualified healthcare professionals in supporting safer decisions.

Certified Athletic Therapists help contribute to that process through education, observation, communication, and return-to-activity support in sport, work, school, and active settings.

A concussion can happen in a moment, but the way people respond afterward matters.

During Concussion Awareness Week, we’re highlighting the importance of creating sport and activity environments where people feel comfortable speaking up, slowing down, and getting support when something does not feel right.

Certified Athletic Therapists are part of that safety network, helping support informed decisions, appropriate next steps, and safer return to participation.

Concussion Awareness Week is a reminder that concussion safety starts with awareness.

Recognizing the signs, taking symptoms seriously, and supporting a safe return to activity can make a meaningful difference in how concussions are managed across sport, work, school, and everyday life.

Certified Athletic Therapists play an important role in helping recognize and manage suspected concussions by supporting safe decisions, appropriate next steps, and recovery conversations when a suspected concussion occurs.
