Did you know that Athletic Therapy is offered by all the major health care insurance companies? Many workplaces in Guelph have opted to include Athletic Therapy in their packages.

Athletic therapy treatment is an essential component of a comprehensive health plan for industrial and workplace athletes (so everyone!). It helps to reduce the recovery time of injuries, while also providing a range of benefits to improve overall performance, wellbeing, and quality of life. Athletic therapy treatment can help to improve the range of motion and flexibility of affected joints, reduce inflammation and pain, and provide functional strengthening to help with the development of strength and endurance. It can also assist with rehabilitation, helping athletes return to their pre-injury level of activity. Additionally, regular athletic therapy treatment can help to reduce the risk of injury and improve performance in the workplace.

For these reasons, we recommend that you check your extended health benefits package to see if you are eligible for athletic therapy treatment. This can help to ensure that you are taking advantage of all the benefits that come with your plan, as well as helping you to stay healthy and injury-free in the workplace.

Maximize the value of your benefits before they expire by taking full advantage of them now! Consider exploring all the options available to you and make sure you don’t leave any unused benefits on the table. Additionally, many employers have programs in place to help you manage and make the most of your benefits. Reach out to your employer’s Human Resources department to learn more about the resources available to you.
