Sport Psychology for Sports Injury Rehab Professionals

Injury rehabilitation is not only a physical process. Understanding the psychological factors that influence an athlete’s response to injury, rehabilitation, and return to play is an essential component of comprehensive sports injury care.

This course introduces Sports Injury Rehabilitation Professionals (SIRPs) to the psychological aspects of the rehabilitation journey, including injury risk factors, psychological responses to injury, barriers to rehabilitation, and the challenges associated with returning to sport.

Participants will develop foundational counseling and mental health literacy skills, while learning practical mental skills and tools that can be applied throughout different stages of rehabilitation. The course also explores the role of the SIRP in supporting an athlete’s psychological well-being, recognizing when additional psychological support is needed, and facilitating effective multidisciplinary care.

Join us for a dynamic hands-on manipulation and mobilization education module, designed to fulfill the 5-hour CCO SMT/EMT CE requirement. This engaging session brings together a stellar lineup of RCCSS(C) Faculty Fellows including Drs. Belchos, Borody, D'Arcy, DeGraauw, Howitt, Kazemi, Kissel, St-Onge, Lee, and Muir.

Each faculty member will present a common joint issue seen in their sports chiropractic practice, share their clinical reasoning, and demonstrate a technique. Attendees will then have the chance to break into small groups to practice and refine their skills with guidance from peers and instructors. Emphasis will be placed on techniques used in athletic populations, with time for discussion and adaptation.

Please bring a portable treatment table and toggle board if available.

After the module, connect with your colleagues over a relaxed lunch and 9-hole golf tournament at Spring Creek Golf Club. Proceeds from all registrations will benefit the RCCSS(C) Foundation for Sports Chiropractic Research and include a charitable tax receipt.
