University of Waterloo Athletics

All student-athletes are eligible for therapy in-season with their designated Athletic Therapists. Appointment times vary, and your AT will communicate with your team regarding how to book an appointment. It is your responsibility to inform your AT when you are injured.  

We have access to a sports medicine doctor and an orthopedic surgeon, who can also request imaging, etc. These appointments will be made by your AT. We can also assist with appointments in optometry, counseling services, health services, etc.  

We strongly encourage prophylactic bracing for ankles during practices and games. Ankle braces can be purchased through the Therapy Clinic and UW’s student health plan covers 80% of the cost.  

We have cold tubs, Normatec compression sleeves, Theraguns, etc. in the clinic. These can be used with AT or student trainer supervision only.  

All student-athletes are required to complete the entire registration process prior to participation. This includes a medical questionnaire, a concussion education piece, and drug awareness via the CCES. All information is provided on the registration portal.
