- Collaborate closely with Strength & Conditioning Coaches, Performance Coaches, and other practitioners to provide coordinated client care
- Integrate rehabilitation plans with clients' existing performance training programs where appropriate

- Communicate clearly and professionally with athletes, parents, coaches, and other members of the care team
- Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation in accordance with professional and regulatory requirements
- Maintain appropriate confidentiality, professional boundaries, and standards of practice
- Stay current with research and best practices in physiotherapy, sports rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and athlete development
