New to Olds College for the 2011/2012 season is the addition of Athletic Therapy services to the athletics department. The athletes will have access to Athletic Therapists in the clinic and some coverage at tournaments as well. Rebecca Spiers will be providing most of the services as well as Jeff Roy assisting in the clinic and covering some tournaments. As Olds College moves toward ACAC competition in the near future, it is important that our athletes be exposed to the proper care and prevention for their injuries.

Collegiate Sports Medicine (Olds) is new to Olds and looks forward to working together with Olds College to keep the athletes competing. All services are available to the general public and they also have massage therapy and physician services available.
